WOW! What a crazy weather parkrun this morning. Hail, sunshine, wind, rain it was a bit surreal!

Liz and I were volunteering this morning. We considered the idea of a perfect selfie as we both tried to open our eyes against the sun...its a lovely photo!! We were both marshals and started together at the start of the finishing funnel. There was a few new parkrunners and they came as far afield as Blickling.....oh er!!

I was leading the course marshals this morning. At Norwich we have started to rotate our marshals in a walking type relay to ensure the course is well marshalled, also that we don't get too cold standing in one place and we also have walkie talkies too to ensure good communication. After copious amounts of clapping, cheering Liz headed off to start meeting and rotating with the other course marshals.

Well done and awesome kudos to Goodgymmers Emily & Brad for braving the weather today - awesome guys!!

❤️❤️❤️ Love parkrun? Give some love back by volunteering!

Volunteer on a Saturday morning during the merry month of May at Norwich parkrun (Eaton Park). Meet at the bandstand at 8:30am with the run director and the other high-viz heroes. You will have a full briefing of the mornings events and how to best support everyone participating at parkrun.

Tasks are varied and include: marshalling, scanning, giving out & sorting finish tokens, tail - walker and many more. All of the tasks are explained in full, easy to do and the tasks are a fun insight into how parkrun runs! The volunteering role usually finishes around 10-10:30am.

Volunteering is great for example if you become injured, are just getting into running, or even have a race on the following Sunday!

If you want to give back to the parkrun community & gain new experiences then parkrun volunteering is for you.

You will receive a point on your parkrun profile & if you volunteer 25 times you will gain a free purple 25 volunteer t-shirt!

If you would like to volunteer at Norwich parkrun and in turn receive a Goodgym good deed you will need to email: norwichhelpers@parkrun.com to let them know you are able to volunteer.

Also let them know in your e-mail that you are part of Norwich Goodgym! Because we work with vulnerable adults and our runners participate at their own risk, participants need to be over 18.

Looking forward to seeing you there, Hayley - Norwich parkrun Volunteer Organiser
