The sky looked a little grey as we met this morning. With crazy showers all week we were hoping for some sunshine.

I met Bek at the bandstand (she was there on time, I wasn't!) and we had a natter before the run briefing. We were course marshalls and had once again the walkie talkies. Bek was on the bollard by the skatepark and said after how scary it is!

Spotted running were Goodgymmers, Natasha, Robert, Elizabeth Kerr and Bradley!

Natasha got a PB!! Whoop! No wonder you said it as hot! Rob is on a roll after his PB at Wroxham, sub 2 here we come!

Next week we have Emma Cossey to interpret the run briefing. If you know of anyone who would benefit of having a BSL signed briefing please invite them along!

🌳 Norwich parkrun No: 463 ⏱ Total Finishers: 497 😊 First Ever parkrun: 42 🏆 PB’s: 105 👟 Different Clubs: 26 ❤️ Volunteers: 21

You can check what happens at Norwich parkrun on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/norwichparkrun/ I often put on posts about what the volunteering roles involve.

❤️❤️❤️ Love parkrun? Give some love back by volunteering! Volunteer on a Saturday morning during the month of June at Norwich parkrun (Eaton Park). Meet at the bandstand at 8:30am with the run director and the other high-viz heroes. You will have a full briefing of the mornings events and how to best support everyone participating at parkrun.

Tasks are varied and include: marshalling, scanning, giving out & sorting finish tokens, tail - walker and many more. All of the tasks are explained in full, easy to do and the tasks are a fun insight into how parkrun runs! The volunteering role usually finishes around 10-10:30am. Volunteering is great for example if you become injured, are just getting into running, or even have a race on the following Sunday!

If you want to give back to the parkrun community & gain new experiences then parkrun volunteering is for you. You will receive a point on your parkrun profile & if you volunteer 25 times you will gain a free purple 25 volunteer t-shirt! If you would like to volunteer at Norwich parkrun and in turn receive a Goodgym good deed.

You will need to email: norwichhelpers@parkrun.com to let them know you are able to volunteer. Also let them know in your e-mail that you are part of Norwich Goodgym! Because we work with vulnerable adults and our runners participate at their own risk, participants need to be over 18. Looking forward to seeing you there, Hayley - Norwich parkrun Volunteer Organiser Run 10 : Volunteer 1, Let's keep parkrun going.
