Park(run)life

Saturday 4th January

Written by Nicky Woodall (she/her)

❄️ 8 excellent GoodGymmers gathered on a cold but crisp Saturday morning for a spot of parkrun volunteering. We had pacers, marshalls, timekeepers and token-ers, all trying to keep warm to the best of our ability.

😎 Afterwards, some people went on to the next task (and the one after that, and maybe even the one after that!), keen for a whole day of doing good.

Good work everyone 💪

Valiant volunteering down at the ‘Mire

Saturday 20th January 2024

Written by York runner

A bunch of GG Yorkies braved the very cold winds 💨 down at the Knavesmire this morning. At least the track was dry and the ground fairly firm today.

We covered various roles from pacing, timekeeping and scanning to funnel managing and marshalling - even Fergs the dog 🐶 helped and we were all very jealous of Amy's big coat!

Just over 700 people took part today and it wouldn't have been possible without our valiant volunteers. If anyone would like to volunteer in future weeks then email York parkrun at york@parkrun.com. The future roster can be seen here https://www.parkrun.org.uk/york/futureroster/

Parky Running on a Dry January morning

Saturday 13th January 2024

Written by Laura Barrett

It was a chilly but dry morning for parkrun and 7 of us volunteered to support the over 600 runners on the Knavesmire. We took on a variety of roles including timekeeping, finish tokens, barcode scanning, funnel managing. Apart from Laura losing her voice in the middle of the first timer briefing it all went smoothly.
