After a few fun evenings and a bit of planning (but not much!), we're thrilled to present the first episode of the Marple Runners Podcast! Our goal is simple: to share the diverse, inspiring, and entertaining stories from our incredible running community.

Our inaugural guest is the legendary James Kemp—Club Championship Coordinator, original 2016 Committee member, and the father of Marple parkrun! James joins us to chat about the origins of Marple parkrun and how his passion for running evolved into a career with the organization.

Also in this episode:

• Eleanor C kicks off our first Runners Roundup.
• Andy H provides a preview of the social calendar.

Whether it was the Chairman's blessing or the last rites, we're off! We hope you enjoy this fun, unscripted ride enough to take us on your next run.

Thanks,

Mark & Neil
