parkrun adventurers podcast

Lyndell makes herself at home while everyone else is travelling. TOC visits all the away courses. We hear from Urayasushi Sogo Koen in Japan, Billdalsparken in Sweden and Greenheart Robina Parklands in Queensland. New merch is announced, Sandgate gets fast, and Taman Pudu Ulu returns.

Sarah and Simon are back, back again! 

Sarah discusses all things Japan, while Simon dreams of venturing back there. They share some important news and encourage audience participation, while Reginald asks us all to join in on a guessing game. 

There’s discussion about new milestones, achievements and a plethora of launches. 

Our roving reporters check in from Heijo Kyuseki Rishiki Koen, West Coast Fossil Park and Pokkinen parkruns. 

And get excited, because we’ve got lots of new Adventurers merch on the way.

The podcast celebrates an unofficial milestone of 450 episodes, with Lyndell welcoming special guest host Johan Duvenhage.

Technical issues aplenty but the resilience and buoyancy of the dynamic team puts out another whiz bang episode. Grab your cape and superpowers as Lyndell and Simon take you all over the world in under an hour. Reginald focuses on a country with only one parkrun, and the roving reporters sound familiar, checking in from University of Galway and Jubilee Tenterfield parkruns. Johan gets another scoop too. We celebrate listener achievements and milestones at Dazzas, and marvel at all the first timers at launches. Plenty of stats from special days and we say goodbye to a legend.

Grab your big red shoes, baggy pants and colourful top hat. TOC is packing his bag of tricks and Lyndell is juggling a life outside of parkrun. Reginald takes a giant magnifying glass to the Running Achievements app, and the roving reporters have bundled into the clown car, headed for Parklakes Wetlands and East Holmes Field parkruns. We celebrate listener achievements and milestones at Dazzas, and pull an endless string of launches out of our sleeves.

Wait… it can’t be… barkrun? Selfscanning? A new mascot? New volunteer roles? Don’t be fooled! Simon shares his recent adventures, while Sarah prepares to take flight. Reginald drops in to share all things Wilson, while we hear reports from Lost Lagoon, Edithburgh and Vingis parkruns. Would you believe that Easter egg wrappers have been left all through the office and the email box is full? There’s no complaints here!

Did we get your attention? Good! We’ve also got the Big Cheese and a swathe of roving reports from the UK (Queens parkrun in Glasgow and Flint Castle in Wales) to Poland (Zalew Łęg) and back home, with Gayndah River Walk ( in Queensland). There’s all the usuals too with Reginald and a rhyming Dazzas to enjoy. Who is the Big Cheese you say? Why it’s Tim Oberg of course! Bringing us a RAD review of his latest pursuit.

PALM26, the best time of the year! Lyndell, Sarah, Simon and TOC took the podcast to the Clare Valley in SA. The Adventurers enjoyed a live pod recording at Clare Rise Bakery. There was talk of all things Clare Valley and an interview with the ED Sheridan Laws and one of the RDs, Sue Mayfield. Adventurers popped into Dazza’s live, the quizmaster worked his magic and there were milestones a plenty. Disclaimer: Lots of carbs were consumed in the recording of this podcast.

Sarah and Simon have packed their bags and they are ready for PALM. There’s lots to love in this episode, from song renditions, declarations of love and Reginald playing their favourite guessing game. There are reports from Meningie, Yarborough Leisure Centre and Lousberg parkruns. We celebrate some Adventurers achievements and get ourselves ready to par-tay in the Clare Valley very soon.

Lyndell & TOC get together to plan some goals, the Kiwis set a country record and we hear reports from Pollock, University of Western Australia and De Soza parkruns. We eat all the food from Dazza’s, even the Brussels sprouts with icecream, and TOC gets excited about all the emails. Fronds abound and there are launches all round.
