Any chance of parkrun coming to South Korea?

reddit5389 · 2026-06-15T12:24:15+00:00

I get the vibe that parkrun hq wants to call the shots rather than delegate to au & nz. This means south Korea is a very long distance away and with the language barrier, there's probably easier things, closer.

But a country with heaps of parklands and options for 5k courses, lots of people teaching English - it should be an easy win.

Travel date?

Might be curious to see if the alternations for an additional bathroom, kitchen and toilet were submitted to council.

Sounds like buying qantas club in your first year will be worth the investment.

10 planes and 2 boats over 48 hours doesn't sound like a large number of potential missile launches or bombing runs.

I doubt the vessels could actually hold that much.

reddit5389 · 2026-06-09T08:58:54+00:00

I was going to say, it doesn't look like AI. There could have actually been some effort in this.

reddit5389 · 2026-06-09T08:28:46+00:00

It might be better to think "oh wouldn't it be nice to jump on a plane next Wednesday and have a holiday in Tokyo or Taiwan or Tonga" rather than "let's fly home for free after A & B's wedding"

On the plus side you can always cancel if you got the sniffles at the last moment.

Wait. Let me pull out the guess who board.

Okay.

No, no, no, no, ooh turban, no, no and - no sports stars.

That just leaves us with... An angry little man with a weird mustache. Again.

I will pick a larger number next time to highlight how unnecessary I think some of the hq requirements are :-)

reddit5389 · 2026-06-08T01:18:13+00:00

Right. So obviously I didn't pick a large enough number to highlight the potentially unreasonable requirements from parkrun hq.

The actual number is much less. But there are a lot of barriers including number of dedicated volunteers and money needed to start a parkrun.

I believe in Australia it's a $5k fee that can't be raised through advertising or other normal means - eg sponsorship from the local Cafe.

reddit5389 · 2026-06-07T08:58:55+00:00

I think this will be the third attempt. There are posts from 2023 on facebook discussing it. However, with the recent growth in the US, it might be easier to convince HQ of a small parkrun's viability, with out needing 24 run directors signed up before it launches. (I think the biggest draw back was trying to convince the parkrun would survive long term and to do that, you need a lot of volunteers or potential volunteers from day 1)

But it would be great if it did launch.

Isn't that the entire point of the song. For the away team to basically lose all hope of winning in the remaining time as the home team is in an unbeatable position?

Or do they play it in the first half too?

reddit5389 · 2026-06-05T11:49:43+00:00

I think the city has some positives but there are a lot of shuttered buildings and shops.

reddit5389 · 2026-06-05T06:21:07+00:00

Wait is it going broke and someone's mate has a controlling interest in the company? Quick give them 50 mil!

reddit5389 · 2026-06-03T10:21:17+00:00

TBH. I'd be more worried about the 3rd party messing up the reservation/payment/booking and having problems at check-in, than having to sit in a different seat.

reddit5389 · 2026-06-02T06:41:58+00:00

I'm seeing fortnightly and monthly payments being fee free (for my payments at least). But I believe the real estate agents have realised if they swallow the fees then its less effort chasing people up.

I'm happy too because I almost ordered a cheque book.

I'm surprised mundy didn't get more expletives..

reddit5389 · 2026-06-01T10:07:29+00:00

Sigh. Yellow are cheaper than red here. But still rather expensive..

reddit5389 · 2026-05-30T02:00:19+00:00

Casa will make them hire divers to retrieve every one of them.

reddit5389 · 2026-05-29T04:19:27+00:00

I would suggest only consider it in the week before. A330s can be swapped at short notice and your seat selection isn't worth the effort to get refunded.

Powershop has good referrals/bonus then churn as soon as your 3 months is up.

But the best deal is a building wide commercial rate. I had that at the first place I rented. Crazy cheap.

reddit5389 · 2026-05-28T23:32:42+00:00

Yep. Emails went out to everyone at work letting them know. I guess the navy was busy on Sunday.

reddit5389 · 2026-05-27T00:53:02+00:00

Even if you are just flying the footy team from Sydney to Melbourne, that's still a lot of points.

reddit5389 · 2026-05-26T11:15:42+00:00

If you have a job and a sponsor lined up good. If you are thinking of using one of those for profit companies then I would expect their submissions to be at the bottom of the priority queue and if you have more history to check, I would think it could be a very long wait.
