We hope you had a Merry Christmas! The guys review the parkrun packed festive weekend with Martin dressing up in a Santa outfit with a beard and pigtails in Poole, Tom had much joy run directing at Sewerby on the Eve and running at Leeds Hyde Park on the main day and Danny did three parkruns in three days in three different locations. There are tales of moving Nativity scenes, Christmas parkrun passes plus Paul Sinton-Hewitt and Crispy Wright give the listeners their own messages.

Tom recounts in detail his Easy Peasy 10; all 10 Yorkshire parkrun events on the shortest Saturday of the year, Martin is absent this week and Danny gets in the spirit of things at Bromley parkrun with his oversized Santa hat. Tom and Danny regale the listeners with the '12 days of parkrun', a listener busts out the shapes to YMCA and the winning name of the parkrun fox is announced!

The Marathon Talk stars aligned at Bushy parkrun this week, with Martin chasing Danny down (but who was first over the line?), and Tom ran a well earned "Comeback PB". News of Awards galore in Bedford, a fond farewell to a Basingstoke great, we find out what types of running shoe you own and we hear your thoughts on Liz Jones' anti-sport article.

Whilst Tom was in Geneva doing l'Escalade and Martin was doing 0.7 miles more than a Marathon along the Jurassic Coast, Danny was slip sliding around Ally Pally with a collective of parkrun nomads and asking the kids what they think the parkrun fox should be called. They also introduced and announced the first unofficial 'PPOTY's Ron Trodd and Kerry Noble.
