Founder of parkrun Paul Sinton-Hewitt

This week on RunPod, Jenni is joined by a true running rockstar – Paul Sinton-Hewitt, the legendary founder of parkrun.

What started as a simple run in London’s Bushy Park has exploded into a global movement across five continents. Paul’s vision has inspired millions to lace up their trainers, not only transforming physical health but also making a powerful impact on mental wellbeing.

In this episode, Paul shares the incredible journey of how parkrun grew from a small gathering to a worldwide phenomenon – one that’s sparked friendships, marriages, and a love of running for people of all ages and abilities. He opens up about the legacy he’s built, the community it’s created, and what it feels like to be recognised (and papped!) by fans more often than most celebrities.

Plus, he chats about his new book ‘One Small Step’ – the definitive account of the run that became a movement.

Whether you’re a parkrun regular or just love a good running story, this is one not to miss.
