What a full bandstand we had this morning!

We welcome 43 brand new runners to the parkrun community - Thank you for making your first very parkrun here at Norwich.

We also welcome 27 parkrunners who ran Norwich for the first time today!

Our fellow Goodgymmer Richard Beastall was on cone/funnel duty as the photos show - thanks for volunteering Richard.

Stephen Reed was a red blur as he sped past in GG attire!

We had 540 finishers today, with a whopping 66 PBs !! It was lovely to see so many starting the weekend in the best way possible!


Love parkrun? Give some love back by volunteering!

Volunteer on a Saturday morning during the month of March, at Norwich parkrun (Eaton Park).

Meet at the bandstand at 8:30am with the run director and the other high-viz heroes.

You will have a full briefing of the mornings events and how to best support everyone participating at parkrun.

Tasks are varied and include: marshalling, scanning, giving out & sorting finish tokens, tail - walker and many more. All of the tasks are explained in full, easy to do and the tasks are a fun insight into how parkrun runs!

The volunteering role usually finishes around 10-10:30am.

Volunteering is awesome for example if you are injured, getting into running, have a race on the Sunday!, want to give back to the parkrun community and gaining new experiences in volunteering roles.

You will receive a point on your parkrun profile, if you volunteer 25 times you will gain a free purple 25 volunteer t-shirt!

If you would like to volunteer at Norwich parkrun and in turn receive a Goodgym good deed you will need to email:

norwichhelpers@parkrun.com to let them know you are able to volunteer. Also let them know in your e-mail that you are part of Norwich Goodgym!

Because we work with vulnerable adults and our runners participate at their own risk, participants need to be over 18.

Looking forward to seeing you there, Hayley :)
