In this uplifting episode of The Parkrunners Podcast, I’m joined by the wonderful Priti Kaur — a 75-years-young parkrunner from Osterley parkrun whose story is full of grit, resilience and abundant positivity.

Priti is taking on the London Marathon for the second time, determined to cross the finish line and finally earn the medal she has dreamed of for so long. After first attempting the race in 2023, she was later diagnosed with myeloma, a blood cancer, and has since come through treatment and into remission. Now, with her trademark warmth, courage and determination, she’s back on the start line.

We talk about her love of movement, how parkrun helped her rebuild strength and joy, why community matters so much, and what it means to keep saying yes to life — even after the toughest of chapters.

This is a story of hope, comeback, and the power of putting one foot in front of the other. Give her a listen and show Priti some love!
