Who this task will support
Lesnes Abbey Woods junior parkrun
A free, fun, and friendly weekly 2k event for juniors (4 to 14 year olds) and entirely organised by volunteers.

Our monthly volunteering session with Lesnes Abbey Wood junior parkrun on the 1st Sunday of the month. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

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!

We'll grab a coffee afterwards at the Chestnuts kiosk in the park .

For some double-deeding, there's our mission at 10am helping the Friends of Lesnes Abbey and Woods in their work to maintain the woods.

📍 Meeting point: on the tarmac path that runs along the Abbey Road side of the park. The nearest postcode is DA17 5DL. Your contact is the Run Director wearing a blue hi-vis jacket.
