Interviewed as a guest
Episode 19
The episode's headline studio interview. Mel opens it "now we're headed back to North Queensland... we're joined now with Tracy [Tracey] Cullen, the Event Director at Riverway parkrun". Covers the broken toe she got running for the phone on Mother's Day and the resulting moon boot; volunteering more than she runs; founding Riverway as the first parkrun in North Queensland three years earlier after seeing a friend's weight loss on Facebook and running Ginninderra with her sister; negotiating a 7am start with Tim Oberg because of the Townsville heat; the Strand knock-back and why Riverway's site won (free pools, playground, showers, cafe); a notoriously confusing course that catches out fast tourists chasing first finishes; growth from ~60 to ~200 runners a week; and moving the finish line off the grass to be parallel with the path after feedback from Zach, their first wheelchair athlete.
