Free weekly timed 5km running event for runners and walkers of all abilities

For those who are new to parkrun, this is a nationwide (and now worldwide!) free weekly 5km time trial, hosted in your local park. The event is super accessible, and the joy of parkrun is that your 15 min runner and your 60 min finisher are just as valued and appreciated!

To allow parkrun to happen every week, volunteers are required to help with key roles such as:

Marshalling

Timekeeping

Funnel Management

Barcode Scanning

Collecting Finishing Tokens

Here is a link for more information about parkrun. No experience is required for these roles, you will be directed by the event director and other volunteers on the day:

To sign up as a volunteer, please email your name, parkrun number and chosen volunteer role to:

finsbury@parkrun.com

And the team will update the roster on the Finsbury parkrun website.
