Thank you to the 2 runners who volunteered this Saturday morning at Norwich parkrun.

The run director at Norwich parkrun even put out a extra call for volunteers, I felt super proud 2 of our Goodgymmers were there to volunteer and keep parkrun going.

This week 519 parkrunners did their thing around Eaton park, a great way to start the weekend. It is great to see NHS Couch to 5k as one of the clubs listed in the results - awesome!

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.

Looking forward to seeing you there, Hayley :)
