Episode Synopsis

In his book, parkrun: An Organised Running Revolution, David draws on new research to shine a light on parkrun’s success and unpack what makes this free, weekly activity such a popular community event. In this episode, David talks to Helen about some of the themes that are included in his book, such as inclusivity, community and health. David also unpacks the ethos: ‘it’s a run, not a race’ - a statement that lies at the very heart of parkrun.
