Over the summer it will be more difficult to get volunteers as our usual crowd (including me) may be off on holiday. So if you’re planning on coming along to cheer someone on: you could volunteer as a marshal! You still get to cheer and you get a warm feeling inside knowing you’ve helped out.

If you would like to volunteer in a coming week, you can let us know on Facebook or by emailing pockethelpers@parkrun.com. You can check the future roster to see what roles are still needed.
That’s it from me for a few weeks as I’m off on holiday, until my return,
