🎃 Spooktacular Opportunity: Be the hero this Halloween! 🎃

This Saturday 31st October, we’re turning up the Halloween spirit and need YOU to help make Event 52 the most fang-tastic parkrun yet!

Why volunteer?

🎃 Be the hero of the Halloween fun—no cape required!
👻 Walk away with a warm, fuzzy feeling (because kindness is the best treat).

We need:
🔹 1x Marshall – Help guide runners/walkers and keep the Halloween chaos in check! 👻 ✅️ FILLED
🔹 1x Barcode Scanner – Scan those bibs and make sure every finisher gets their well-deserved medal on Strava (and bragging rights). 🎃

The most scary thing about Halloween? Not having parkrun!

👻 🧙‍♂️IMPORTANT: If we can’t find enough volunteers, we’ll have to cancel Event 52. Let’s keep the Halloween spirit alive and make this a frightfully fun morning! 🦇🧛‍♂️

👻Event 52 - Saturday 31st October 2026🎃

This Halloween, we’re turning up the fun, and the foliage - at Auburn Botanic Gardens parkrun! 👻🍂 Whether you’re here to trick or treat your fitness goals, boo-st your personal best, or just enjoy a hauntingly good time, we’ve got a fang-tastic event lined up for you!

However, we can’t witch-thout you! 🧙‍♀️💀 Parkrun relies on volunteer spirits to keep the event alive (literally!). Here’s how you can help:

🧙‍♀️ Timekeeper (1) – Be the clock-en of the event!
🎃 Marshall (1) – Stand guard at Sheffield St to keep runners on the right path (literally and metaphorically).
👻 Barcode Scanners (2) – Scan those frightfully fast finishers and help us haunt—er, track—their times!
🪄 Event Day Course Check - Wing your way around the course to sweep for any golden snitches (or obstacles)! 🏃‍♂️🧹✨ ✅️FILLED

No experience needed! We’ll bone up on training before the big day. 🦴
