Episode 50
parkrun's beginnings and adventure: starting Bushy Park because he was lonely and wanted to see his mates, the coffee afterwards being the point, the hardware-store washers and Forestry Commission aluminium tokens that preceded barcodes, why he is A1674 and numbers 1-4 are vacant, the three millionth registration, roughly £3m invested in systems plus about £50,000 a year of his own for five years, volunteering as the model's make-or-break, having visited ~190-200 different events, plans for an extended Australian trip, and why Christmas Day is the best parkrun of the year.
