Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
For those who are new to parkrun, this is a nationwide (and now worldwide!) free weekly 5km time trial, hosted in your local park. The event is super accessible, and the joy of parkrun is that your 15 min runner and your 60 min finisher are just as valued and appreciated!
To allow parkrun to happen every week, volunteers are required to help with key roles such as:
Marshalling
Timekeeping
Funnel Management
Barcode Scanning
Collecting Finishing Tokens
Here is a link for more information about parkrun. No experience is required for these roles, you will be directed by the event director and other volunteers on the day:
