High-vis heroes needed for the Thamesmead Riverside Run

The annual Thamesmead Riverside Run is a fun, affordable and inclusive sporting opportunity for local residents of all ages and abilities, encouraging physical activity, social connection and confidence-building. There's a lovely 5k and 10k out-and-back course, plus a family 1 mile event, all with a festival vibe along the Thames Path.

It's organised by Thamesmead Running Club, a small, volunteer-led club (just like GoodGym Bexley!) who have asked if we can help things go smoothly and safely.

Roles include:

🚩 Marshalling the out-and-back course along the Thames Path from Thamesmead to Woolwich Arsenal
