Lend a hand at Mowbray Park junior parkrun

Come and support a fantastic junior parkrun in Sunderland! Meet at the John Candlish statue in the centre of Mowbray Park around 8:45am.

Nearest parking right next to Mowbray Park is on Burdon Road and Toward Road, although many of Burdon Road’s parking spaces will be unavailable until Christmas. Free parking slightly further away on Laura Street. The start/finish area is a short walk from Sunderland train and Metro station, a little further from Park Lane Metro station and Sunderland Interchange.

GoodGym is not affiliated with parkrun, so you must email the event team or leave a comment on one of their volunteer request Facebook posts to volunteer, choosing a role from the roster for November 3rd (take a look here: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/mowbraypark-juniors/futureroster/ ). The email address is mowbrayparkjuniors@parkrun.com and the Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/mowbrayparkjuniorparkrun . You can also put a comment in the GoodGym Newcastle WhatsApp group to request to volunteer if it is easier, which will be picked up by the community mission leader. There are a wide variety of volunteer roles such as marshal, timekeeper, barcode scanner, handing out finish tokens and tail walking. Junior parkrun events even need a warm up leader!

Volunteering at junior parkrun is easy, fun and doesn't take long. It's a great start to a Sunday! Join many of the volunteers afterwards for a hot drink and breakfast in Greggs on Fawcett Street.
