Parkrun Volunteer – Charnwood

About this role

Watermead Country Park parkrun takes place at 9am every Saturday morning. It requires 30 volunteers each week to put on a safe event. Roles available are varied and full training is provided. The time commitment is 8.30-10am.

The parkrun is a weekly, timed 5km run or walk around beautiful Watermead Country Park.  The start is close to the main car park at the Wanlip end ((Watermead North).  Free parking is available for volunteers at the Hope & Anchor Pub, just before the main entrance (10 minute walk).  Alternatively, paid car parking is available at the main car park.

Volunteer roles include – marshal, pre-course set up, timekeeper, barcode scanner, funnel manager, tail walker, first timers’ brief, run report writer, course pack away, number checker, etc.

We are a friendly core team and actively welcome volunteers of all ages, sporty or not.  We generally end up in the Hope and Anchor afterwards for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat.

Commitment doesn’t have to be significant, and one can sign up for any week by visiting our volunteer page – https://www.parkrun.org.uk/watermeadcountrypark/futureroster/
