Stephen Parker has been running the streets and trails of Rochedale South, Australia, for over forty years. He adores his wife Ruth and four incredible daughters, and is the Associate Academic Dean for ACOM - the Australian College of Ministries. Since 1987 he has raced at least a half marathon every year, and since 2009 has been enjoying adventure races, rogaines, trail ultras and now Backyard Ultras. In 2016 he helped begin Underwood Park parkrun, where he continues to volunteer as an Event Director. He hopes his next book is A Spirituali-ty of Running.
