**EDIT - all sorted thanks to all who have put their names down this week**
Is this you?
Are you recovering from an injury?
Are you planning a big Friday night & know you won’t feel like running or walking Saturday morning?
Are you a student needing volunteer hours?
Are you new to volunteering?
Are you short on time?
Or are you simply keen to give something new a go?
To enable our event to take place on Saturday, just 1 marshal is needed 🦺
And we have got the prime position of bollard marshal waiting just for you!
In this position you will:
Be the ultimate cheer squad: You spend your morning clapping, shouting words of encouragement, and high-fiving walkers, joggers, and runners
Hear a wave of gratitude: You will hear "Thank you, marshal!" dozens of times, and seeing people's faces light up when they hear your cheers never gets old.
Be the eyes and ears on the course: You serve as a vital safety presence, pointing people in the right direction and making sure nobody takes a wrong turn.
Feel low-pressure and relaxed: Unlike running the 5k or managing strict timing tech, it is a stress-free, tech-free job where you just need a smile and a loud voice.
See a unique perspective: You get to watch the entire field pass by—from speedy front-runners to families, kids, and lots of happy dogs.
Be chatting with the public: You often get to talk to other park users, explaining what parkrun is all about and inviting them to join next time.
