In this episode, Catherine sits down with Gorey parkrun legend Gary Doyle, who recently celebrated a rare double milestone: 200 parkruns and 200 volunteer stints — on the same day. From barcode scanning to run directing, Gary’s commitment to community is matched only by his love of Oasis and his ever-expanding collection of running shoes!

We explore how a newspaper article (and a nudge from his wife Aoife) kickstarted his @parkrun journey back in 2017, the joy of running alongside his son Noah, and why volunteering gives him just as much — if not more — than crossing the finish line. Expect warmth, wit, and a reminder that “5k is 5k no matter how long it takes.”
