Ally O'Rourke: Head Boomeranger on founding the 10 Boomerangs parkrun project (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ally O'Rourke is the founder of 10 Boomerangs, a project which has created community and brought enjoyment at parkrun events across the world. It was back in June 2024, when South Beach Recreation Reserve Run Director Ally decided to send those ten boomerangs out into the world. Starting at her Fremantle home in Australia, they have travelled the globe, meeting new temporary owners and taking in the sights and sounds of some of the world's largest cities and smallest towns. As each boomerang hea
Khandie Rees: Conquering The Amazing Northampton Run to raise thousands for charity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Khandie Rees needs some persuading when people tell her she's a runner. With a dodgy hip and suffering from serious pulmonary problems that mean she probably shouldn't be running at all, Khandie is often found towards the back of the pack at any race she takes part in. But at Running Tales, we know that your VO2 Max and split times mean nothing compared to the effort it takes to simply get to the start line and what you do with the privilege of running when you get there.

Chris Luna: How one ultra runner is helping 'Native Men Run' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chris Luna has been running for about four years, using the sport to achieve physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional balance. Running has also seen him embrace ultra distances, including competing at the Saddles 100 in Prescott, Arizona - described as an act of endurance that passes through dust, pine, and shifting stone. Despite not reaching his 100 mile goal, he still managed to rack up 100km at the challenging event. But for Native American Chris, who has Coahuilteco and Lakota heritage, r
Daniel Moores: Why 'Back My Run' app creator wants to help runners find inspiration (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Daniel Moores was mid-way through a difficult long run, his thoughts turned to his grandparents. Daniel was training to run the Abu Dhabi Marathon in their memory, and imagining speaking to them gave him the boost to get through that tough 30km training run. An idea started to form in the head of the Birmingham-born runner, who is now based in the Middle East: what if athletes could hear the voices of their loved ones cheering them on as they hit the wall. He went on to complete the maratho
Will Anderson: The man behind £10 parkrun - 'Ten pound gear and a good idea' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Will Anderson is no slouch when it comes to running. His parkrun PB of 15 minutes and 17 seconds would have most purveyors of the 5k phenomenon reaching for the smelling salts. But despite his rapid times, Will isn't afraid to scoot round parkruns riding a hobby horse. Or a beanie hat. Or, indeed, a thick jumper and woollen trousers at the height of one of the hottest summers the UK has ever seen. That's because Will is the man behind the new Instagram channel, 10poundparkrun , a project which c
