We have bonus Olly this week as we round out October with dress up tales (or should that be fails?).

Melissa chose to #getgood at GreenWay parkrun and found a curious bagpipe playing GP to chat social prescribing and the mental health benefits of parkrun.

And Lyndell the Legendary is back with 11th birthday celebrations from a parkrun we all know well – Kawana!

The parkrun adventurers slow right down after a punishing but enjoyable weekend, as Mel and Olly recap the adventure that was the Panorama Punish (and Orange parkrun). We hear from Sarah from the West Side at Our Park, while Lyndell celebrates amongst heroes and villains at North Lakes. And we have the stats and the mailbag to prove it - Aussie launches may be down but pies are still up!

Mel and Mario (aka Olly) race through a speedy and somewhat Italian themed pod.

Caveman Cam pops up at Mensola parkrun and we have a new statistical offering from our Adventurers club.

Plus, a little musing about junior parkrun and the growth?? of 5k events so far this year.

Simon’s back! And so are the Ugly Christmas shirts. So, tune in to hear all about this year’s designs. We have Lyndell the Legendary reporting from Tuncanbar (Wes Mitchell Park parkrun) and Rachel is discussing the what and why of parkrun courses – inflated or not. Another hour full of laughs and levels ups, all for your listening pleasure.

This week is a huge celebration of outback fun and glitter with Mel bringing us all the news of her Broken Hill Racecourse adventure. Also, a plevora (Olly??!) of roving reports from North, South, East & West at Palmerston, Wilson Inlet Heritage Trail, Harmony Boulevard and Cobram parkruns.

Plus, there’s two more challenges to add to the bingoe card and Pippa sings the praises of streaking with a friend.

It’s Swoopy Septmeber and we’re all streaking! This week Toc joins Mel as we return to our ‘Big Things’ discussion. Mel recounts her trip to Ballina Coast parkrun and TOC re-indexes at Rosebud. Billo drops by with a stella report for Yackandandah parkrun, Pippa has more motivation for getting it done and Johan has all the proper pronunciations. Plus we explain the bingoe card challenges and suggest the next level up.

As we approach our favourite streaky season we bring you reflections from International dog day at Parkindula Reserve parkrun, plus we have roving reports from TOC at Tallangatta and Johan at Cape Agulhas. Pippa drops in with streaky advice, the Birthday Boy brings us all the cake and there are emails a-plenty.
