Episode 195
The launch of parkrun in the Netherlands on 29 February 2020, why the Netherlands was chosen over Spain out of nearly 500 European expressions of interest, why six events launched simultaneously rather than one, permissions and landowner relations, Dutch cycling culture and its course-safety implications, expected turnouts, and the likely rollout into smaller Dutch towns. Also his own parkrun story: first parkrun at Cardiff in 2008, having moved to Sweden in 2005, contacting HQ in 2015 to start parkrun in Sweden, being Co-Event Director at his Stockholm home event, saving his 50th, and a six-parkrun Australian/Singapore tour (Nambour, Victory Heights, Ballina, Rhodes and Parramatta on New Year's Day, East Coast Park).
