Volunteering at Eltham junior parkrun

This is our regular volunteering session with Eltham junior parkrun. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Please request a role on the parkrun roster before you sign up for this task - scroll down to see the full instructions.

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!

📍 Meeting point

Meet next to the café in Eltham Park South. The nearest postcode is SE9 1AN. Your contact is the Run Director wearing a blue hi-vis jacket.
