The Runna Podcast Live with Russ Cook (The Hardest Geezer)

Runna’s race-week hangout blends an easy, social 5K with a live podcast recording featuring Russ Cook — aka The Hardest Geezer — fresh off becoming the first person to run the full length of Africa. The evening flows from arrival and check-in at the Runna Race Hub to the community run with Russ and Team Runna, then settles into refreshments and a live chat with hosts Coach Ben Parker and Anya Culling, covering Russ’s journey and his build toward London Marathon 2026.

Good to know

• Bag drop is available at check-in before the run
• Plan for a roughly 2.5-hour evening from start to finish
• Bring run kit for the 5K, plus a light layer for the post-run sit-down and snacks
