Interview - Daniel + Lauren Cole - Run Directors at parkrun

Forrest Chat

Daniel and Lauren talk about what it takes to be a Run Director at parkrun, what it means to them and the community and how you can become a Run Director too.

My favourite quiote of the episode is "I think even from a community perspective, there'd be meaning there for other people that we aren't aware of. There's a group of four of us that are Run Directors now, so I'm the first female that's stepped up and done it, so hopefully other young ladies or girls that are down there see that and think, oh well I can do that too and want to put their hand up and give it a go. So I think it's such a good forum to be able to do that, even if you wanted to improve public speaking. if you had to give a speech at school or something like that or at work, it's a great opportunity to come down in a really friendly and supportive group and give it a go."
