Our rota is looking very bare for this Sunday. We need a minimum of 3 marshals and a Tailwalker to be able to go ahead (but ideally would love a 4th marshal and a 2nd barcode scanner too).
Are you able to be a high viz hero and save the day?!
Please email [email protected] with your barcode or comment below.
Many thanks in anticipation

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us for an extra special junior parkrun this morning as we celebrated Olympic Day with Team GB and Olympian Abigail Irozuru! 🇬🇧

58 of you joined us this morning and it was so great to see so many participants running in Olympic colours 💙💛🖤💚❤️

We had 6 first timers today, 3 of which were taking part in their first ever junior parkrun! We hope you all enjoyed yourselves and that this was the first junior parkrun of many for you 👋🏻

Our event couldn't happen without an incredible team of volunteers and the 20 individuals who made today possible deserve an extra special thank you. You're all heroes 💜

If you are free to volunteer next Sunday or help us out on a future Sunday then please drop us an email at [email protected] and we'll get you on the roster. You can find our roster for future weeks at https://www.parkrun.org.uk/southmanchester-juniors/futureroster/ 🦺

Hopefully you are as excited as we are to welcome Abigail Irozuru, Olympic athlete, to our parkrun tomorrow. She will be at the boathouse ready to welcome everyone at 8.45 so please come along then to meet her, members of team GB and parkrun HQ staff.
As mentioned last week it would be great if you could come wearing colours from the Olympic rings or a top from a country that competes at the Olympics.
Look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning!
