Interviewed as a guest
Episode 452
Recorded at Morden parkrun on the day of his 1,000th parkrun. Darren reflects on 22 years of parkrun through highs and lows, deflects attention onto parkrun itself and its volunteers and sponsors, describes setting up Edenbrook Country parkrun before COVID and handing it to co-ED Steph Greenwood, talks about his 400+ volunteer credits and keeping his original 500 shirt, and speaks openly about self-harm and mental health struggles and the non-judgemental welcome that got him through the gate. He sets 2,000 as the next target.
