Episode 249
The complexity of opening and closing events across Asia Pacific during COVID - a team of 10 in the region and 45 globally, differing state classifications (event system tier three in Victoria, community sport in Queensland), metro versus regional splits, late-night Friday crisis calls, the policy of never applying a blanket cancellation where events can still run, the status of Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and New Zealand, the new Australian parkrun shop and its forthcoming mid socks, and her own parkrun life at Coomera.
Episode 112
Launching Australia's first junior parkrun at Southport on the Gold Coast, the trial, the 202-child launch morning, week-to-week numbers, working-with-children checks, the 12-month three-event pilot, and what the Event Director workload actually looks like.
Episode 50
2016 highlights and 2017 hopes: joining parkrun Australia full-time and doubling the team, what extra staff means for event and territory directors, the target of launching at least one parkrun a week in 2017, a Christmas wish for a defib at every one of Australia's 200 events, and family Christmas Day parkrun plans.
Episode 30
Her parkrun story, first-ever Australian event at Main Beach on the Gold Coast, founding Coomera as Australia's seventh parkrun, becoming Territory Director and then National Operations Manager, followed by listener questions from Peter Pohlman (what the role does; the take-up of the apricot/Tribe Sports gear) and William Barlow (parkrun Australia's social media), her top three events (Main Beach, Bushy Park, Curl Curl) and the growth pipeline including Weipa.
