About this listen

Rodney Law might be the most recognisable face in the local running community... and not just because he’s routinely dressed as Santa.

Since being talked into a 500km relay back in 2014, Rodney’s running journey has been filled with highs, humour, and a truly impressive list of setbacks. Narcosis of the toes, a torn meniscus, bike crashes, and a near on-course collision with a car... yet he keeps coming back with the same grin and willingness to give back.

In this episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty sit down with Rodney to talk about parkrun, volunteering, photography, and why staying connected to the community mattered just as much as staying fit. From six marathons and countless injuries to becoming Event Director at Chermside parkrun, Rodney’s story is a reminder that running isn’t just about performance... it’s about belonging.

In this episode:

  • Being talked into a 500km relay and paying the price
  • Narcosis of the toes and early injury lessons
  • Discovering parkrun and falling in love with the community
  • Volunteering, photography, and staying involved when injured
  • Torn meniscus, bike crashes, scooter run-ins, and recovery
  • Why parkrun became home

Runbelievable: real runners, unreal stories.
