The hosts cross "across the ditch" to Rotorua, New Zealand to interview Alison King, Event Director of the newly launched Puarenga parkrun. She explains the name (Te Reo Māori for "sulphur flowers"), the two-lap geothermal Sulphur Trek course with its steam vents, the 128-runner launch (beating Anderson parkrun Napier's 97), how the Marathon Talk podcast got her into parkrun, her one previous parkrun at Barry Curtis in Auckland, and her plan to run Norwich parkrun on her sister's wedding day. Signs off with "it's the parkrun where you never run out of steam."
