This week on The Parkrunners Podcast, I’m joined by the one and only Commeletia — and yes, she genuinely believes she may be the only Commeletia in the UK (possibly the world), which has earned her the affectionate nickname: “Señorita Commeletia.”

Commeletia is a phenomenal parkrun tourist — a true all-rounder who runs, walks, volunteers, and travels with purpose. She’s also a serious challenge-chaser: the 3rd person ever to complete all 11 Alphabet Challenges, collecting parkruns like postcards and proving that Saturday mornings can build a whole world of friendships, routines, and adventures.

And there’s even more excitement bubbling… she’s just a few parkruns away from her 500 milestone shirt — a huge moment on the horizon.

In this episode we talk about:

• What drives her love of parkrun tourism (and how she plans trips around it)
• The joy of mixing running, walking, and volunteering across different communities
• The mindset behind big challenges — and how to keep it fun, not frantic
• Why parkrun has a way of turning places into home, even when you’re far away

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I’ll try a new parkrun one day…” — this one might just tip you into planning your next adventure.
