Paul Sinton-Hewitt

Every Saturday morning, tens of thousands of people across the world gather to walk, run and jog 5km around their local parks. ParkRun has taken off worldwide. But before Paul Sinton-Hewitt founded ParkRun, he was struggling to hold his life together, having lost his successful career, with a marriage that had broken down and a devastating injury that threatened to cut him off from the running club which had been his lifeline.

Sinton-Hewitt talks about coming up with the simple idea of a Saturday morning free weekly run, how it instilled him with connection and purpose, and how it grew from 13 runners in its first week to a ten million strong community across five continents.
