“That’s amazing, how can we make it happen?“

Surrounded by artisan crisps and speaking with his special Radio 2 voice, Kenneth pulls up a socially distanced chair from Tom Williams - the Chief Operating Officer for Parkrun Global. They talk through how Tom became involved in the Parkrun scene, set up the first northern event and staffed it full of hungover students. Joining them through his terrible internet connection but armed with a Top Gun quiz is James, who is keen to hear how they maintain culture at scale, ensuring your first experience replicates Tom’s.

We chat around what success looks like and how some of the best things in life have no goals. There are tips on maintaining patience, being booed by the entire student body and learning when it’s important to say no to technological innovation. In addition, Tom schools the guys on making a podcast successful, meeting Martin and the huge numbers behind Marathon Talk.
