Volunteering at Bexley parkrun – A Great Start to the Weekend

This weekend, I had the chance to give back to the parkrun community in a way that was both fun and fulfilling. I signed up for a volunteering task and decided to combine it with my usual run – and I’m so glad I did.

I kicked things off by running the parkrun first, getting my 5K in with a great atmosphere and energy all around. After crossing the finish line, I switched gears and jumped into my volunteering role for the post-run close down. Helping pack away and making sure everything was in order gave me a deeper appreciation for the effort that goes into making each parkrun happen.

Task completed – and I couldn’t be happier. Running followed by volunteering turned out to be the perfect combo. It felt great to contribute while still getting my usual run in.

Overall, what a fantastic way to start the weekend! I’d highly recommend volunteering when you can – it’s a simple way to support your local parkrun, meet fellow runners, and have a bit of fun while you’re at it.

Till next time! - Cecilia D. 🍀
