Lesnes Abbey Woods junior parkrunOur regular volunteering session with Lesnes Abbey Wood junior parkrun. 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Come and cheer on the young runners to get them fired up and charging around the 2km course. There are plenty of roles to choose from, including marshaling, barcode scanning, handing out finish tokens and tail walking. No prior experience needed and you don't need to be a runner. Just bring your best cheering, clapping and encouragement-giving skills!
You will need to sign-up with the parkrun team as well as registering here - please see 'How to volunteer' below.
Afterwards you can grab a drink at the Chestnuts kiosk in the park. Bring a reusable cup if you have one!
📍 Meeting point
Meet the junior parkrun team on the tarmac path that runs along the Abbey Road side of the park. The nearest postcode is DA17 5DL. Your contact is the Run Director wearing a blue hi-vis jacket.
