🚨 Upington parkrun SOS! 🚨

Our volunteer roster currently looks like a braai with no fire. 🔥😂

2 of our 6 critical roles to have a parkrun is not filled yet.

We are still looking for the following brave legends:

🦺 Run Director - filled
⏱️ Timekeeper - still open
📱 Scanner - still open
🎟️ Finish Tokens - filled
🚶🏾‍♀️ Tailwalker - filled
🗺️ Course Checker - filled

No experience needed… if you can smile, clap, shout “WELL DONE!” and survive one Saturday morning before coffee ☕ — you qualify 😎

Remember:
👉 Timers become local celebrities
👉 Scanners hold the power of the beep
👉 Tailwalkers get VIP gossip access
👉 Photographers catch all the dramatic finish faces
👉 Finish token distributors control the precious treasure 🏅

Come help us make the magic happen at Upington parkrun this Saturday! 💚 💛

Volunteer before we start assigning jobs based on who makes eye contact first 👀 😂

Please help us make our Saturday "braai" possible - especially if you've not volunteered in the last 3 months (or ever 👀) 🙏
