Early start and joined Southall Park run volunteers as they were short of volunteers. I agreed to be Event Day course check and marshal too. On arrival, Bik said that a 2 year old was messing around with some of the cones, so I started going around the course and when i reached the magical round about, I noticed that the cones were out of control, so put them back to their spot. No child was in view, so carried on around the course. Noe of the other cones misbehaved, but some of the park visitors did leave litter for us to clear of the course. We cleared the rubbish in no time. I was then assigned as marshal at position 1 which is at the end of the straight line after the start. I was to turn the sign around once all have gone past it. But then asked if I could start and double up with another lady at point 2 as several individuals around there drinking. My task was to be there with her and once the runners have passed and the individuals have moved to go to point 1 and change the sign with the arrows to turn instead of going straight. So I held 3 positions today. We had 2 quick runners under 18 minutes!!!Total of 101 runners/walkers and 21 wonderful volunteers
