The Big Help Out 2026! This is the UK's biggest volunteering weekend to encourage community involvement. GoodGym Ipswich are getting involved by volunteering at junior parkrun! A free, fun, and friendly weekly 2k event for juniors (4 to 14 year olds). The run starts at 9am.

If you would like to volunteer, please email ipswichjuniors@parkrun.com to secure your volunteer spot. There are many roles available, such as marshal, time-keeping and barcode scanning, so there is something for everyone to get involved with. The full list of volunteer roles can be found here: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/ipswich-juniors/futureroster/

Hope to see you there! It will be great to meet new people too - I will be there in my red GoodGym top so come and say hi 👋
