Episode 248
parkrunner and key volunteer, Hastings Foreshore parkrun (Mornington Peninsula); co-creator of the Big Bird Trail and the Bubble Bird Relay with Peter Mitchell
How a wrong turn on a Mornington Misfits group run produced a Strava map shaped like a bird's beak, which became the 9.2km Big Bird Trail at Mount Martha, then, through Victoria's successive lockdowns, the Bubble Bird Relay: a sanitiser-carrying rubber chicken baton with a GPS watch strapped to it, handed between runners inside their five-kilometre bubbles, which has now covered over a thousand kilometres and reached Melton, Yarraville, Belgrave and beyond. Also covers his own parkrun story and his two-volunteers-to-one-run habit.
