We had a super morning taking over at the newest North East parkrun: Leazes parkrun

We covered the following volunteer roles:

  • Two marshals

  • Pre- event set up

  • Pre-event briefing

  • Two barcode scanners

  • Two timers

  • Two token sorters

  • Finish tokens

.. and we had 4 runners and walkers too!.. well done Miranda and Siobhan on your first EVER parkrun today.

"I was taken aback this morning, as literally everyone kept saying thank you!"

It was so great to see super task forcer Charlotte along today as she is really wrestling through a nasty injury that's kept her away for quite a while. Thankfully she had a crutches-friendly role for the morning.

We had a brilliant morning getting involved and I even got to walk with Bob, who I think you can all see on our Instagram was Dog of the Day. Huge well done to those who went straight on to the Community Mission at Nunsmoor Park too!
