Can anyone help volunteer this week?

🌳 It’s parkrun Eve 🌳

Weather forecast is looking ideal for our parkrun (as screenshot) 👌🥳🫶

We have a few volunteer spots available:-

🦺 Funnel Manager (keep flowing smoothly).
🦺 Marshall - Next to the 3K sign.

We’ll no doubt have people coming to our parkrun First, and then going straight to do the Man Versus Horse race (leg or full course) 😮😂👏
