parkrun adventurers podcast

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.

This week, Mel travelled to North Sydney parkrun for Medibank’s Lounge event, while Olly was ‘you know where’ guiding a well known Bailey shot to her RD debut. Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, Johan was busy at the South African conference, speaking to parkrun CEO, Russ Jefferys, amongst others. Plus, the Birthday Boy returns to give us the low down on what to look forward to in April.

This week, parkruns far and wide celebrated International Womens Day. We think that’s pretty cool – but even cooler is a huge (not)parkrun milestone and an even bigger bucket list adventure! Mel was riding high at Jerrabomberra Mountain Reserve parkrun, while our roving reporters dropped in from Jurien Bay, Sirromet and Grey Goose parkruns. Rachel is stuck on repeat, we have more Big Things and the Quizmaster drops us a lasso…er line!

It's a bumper episode of interviews and reports this week. Mel catches up with John Lindsell at Kawana parkrun and Lyndell is on the ground at Kedron parkrun, chatting to the man of the moment, Michael Schultz. We’ve got roving reports from Brightwater and Newcastle Park parkruns and Rachel discusses the Pioneers challenge, but there’s a lot less of Mel and Olly than you might be accustomed to. Unless you want Olly singing? Then you’re in luck.

Pour another coffee – Mel & Olly are delirious after their adventures at Batemans Bay and Maria Creek Reserve parkruns. Luckily we have Tracey in a TuTu bouncing in at Ecco Ripley parkrun, David swinging past at Wannaroo parkrun, and over the ditch, Alison floats in with a report from Hamilton Lake. To keep us awake, we discuss worldwide parkrun elevation, we hear the March rundown from the Birthday Boy, plus there’s Dazza’s, mail, the Consolidated Club Report and …wake up, Jodi!!

This week the adventures come from our roving reports, with Lyndell at Railway Park and PK visiting Stebonheath, sharing one of the best possible reasons to go to parkrun. We consider a whole host of additional candidates for the proposed Big Things ‘Adventurers at Large’ challenge, and we mix it with the stars at Dazza’s.

A ‘BIG’ episode this week with Sarah from the Westside dropping in to talk all things palm23. Tracey in a TuTu is horsing around at Centennial parkrun and we hear from a new voice out at Garvey Park parkrun. Dazza’s is coping with a ‘BIG’ crowd, Rachel returns, and Olly and Mel discuss the nominations for the ‘Adventurers at Large’ challenge. Plus … it’s going to be a BIG party weekend!
