Support your local Parkrun as a volunteer!
Help people run 5km for free in January

Date and time
08:30 - 10:00Parkruns depend on volunteers to give their time in a variety of roles so that this event can be run every Saturday of the year.
While many people know they can run for free, not many know that the event is entirely supported by volunteers and that each parkrun always welcomes new volunteers.
So why not volunteer at your local parkrun? You will learn something new, help other people run and be part of a great team of people who ensure the event is not cancelled! This sadly happened in Endcliffe parkrun in 2022.
First of all, you must have registered (free) on the parkrun website which will give you your very own barcode you can use both when you run and when you volunteer:
https://www.parkrun.org.uk/register/
Secondly, contact the Parkrun where you want to volunteer so that they can add you to the rosta; here are the email addresses of Sheffield’s parkruns - we're very lucky to have so many here! You can check out what roles are unfilled by looking at the future volunteer rosters linked. Feel free to use the comments section or WhatsApp group to coordinate efforts with other GGers.
Endcliffe Endcliffe@parkrun.com
Hillsborough Hillsborough@parkrun.com
Millhouses Millhouses@parkrun.com
Poolsbrook Poolsbrook@parkrun.com
Rother Valley Rothervalley@parkrun.com
Sheffield Castle Sheffieldcastle@parkrun.com
Then put the time in your diary and come on time on the day with your best smile and cheer runners on. It really makes a difference to runners, especially if they’re new!
Finally, send a photo of the event, ideally you in action as a volunteer so we can add to the weekly report.
It’s that easy!
So go on, there is no better way to feel like a hero!
