How did the leopard get its spots? What’s better than coffee after juniors? What is the world’s toughest parkrun? Where are you taking me, and why do I need my passport? What do Rod, Gail and Neil have in common? What’s bigger, Mel’s P index or her V index? Why is Kilmore RWT parkrun another parkrun to add to your list? Who let the dogs out? The answer to all these questions, and more, is waiting for you in this episode of the parkrun Adventurers podcast. Spoiler alert – a roving report from Bishan parkrun is just one of those answers!

We celebrate all the things this week as Mel & Olly parkran together at the brand new Woodlands Historic Park and Simon caught up with Lyndell the Legendary at Fodder Forest for her Cowell. PK drops in from Oaklands Estate Reserve and TOC brings us a European double from Ziegelwiese and Amager Fælled. All this and more antics as we reflect another week in parkrun.

It’s a Dutch flavoured podcast this week with TOCCY from Inverloccy bringing us all the action from The Netherlands at Zuiderpark and Kagerzoom parkruns.

Back at home, Mel headed west to Anstey Hill Recreation parkrun and Olly headed north to Centennial parkrun – but they didn’t leave Australia ☹

Meanwhile, the Swather Wars continue …

It’s a very newsy pod this week. Mel took her press pass to the new Dixon Field parkrun and Chanel 5 news crew reports hit the presses from all over. Our international reporter, TOC, checked in from Donaupark parkrun in Austria. PK was on a Windex-hunt at Narooma Wetlands. And Lyndell was investigating mysteries at Robelle Domain. We also have a swather of emails, interstate updates from the west side, and a ‘soldier’s five’ from the Office Lady.

This week, we embrace the spirit of carpe diem and advocate for a promising new word that has been tattooed in our minds.... Mel shares her adventure to Tallangatta parkrun, where she wasn’t solo, while we also hear of parkrun voyages to Caffarella, Brisbane Valley Rail Trail and Wolford Wood. Even Myrtle the Turtle is Cha Cha Cha’ing around on parkrunday this week!

This week, Mel, who went on an adventure to Sandon Point parkrun, is joined by Simon, who loves a chat about all things Coronation! As we continue to play catch up with the backlog of roving reports, we hear from Lyndell at Naracoorte Lake, Alison at Ekebergsletta, and PK at Edithburgh. Olly will definitely be disappointed he missed it as we hear from Rachel with a special Eurovision club corner. And you’ll have to let us know what you think about Mel's fishing trip …

This week we have a S W A T H E R of roving reports to catch up on with PK at Shiraz Trail parkrun, Mark at Yackandandah Rail Trail, Johan in outback Coober Pedy and Action Man out at Altona Beach parkrun.

We have news of special days and parkrun ends, emails and club creations, plus a new challenge (or is it) to ponder.

Plus Rachel is back to bring us insight from cyberspace.

The parkrun adventurers enjoyed their 6th annual listener meetup in Perth W.A. The live recording was successfully captured and features an interview with University of Western Australia parkrun EDs Cameron Storey and Rodney Glossop, the palm23 Madness Quiz plus Ch5 News Crew Official Press Pass presentations.

This week, Mel was camouflaged and Olly was where he (almost) always is. We apologise for the late (not April Fools related) release, as excitement mounts for palm23. There’s Dazza’s, CCR stats, and a really riveting Rachel rundown.
