For this task you'll need to sign up with parkrun as well as joining via this listing. We've explained everything in the 'How to volunteer' section below 👇.
Bexley parkrun is a free, weekly, timed 5k event every Saturday morning in Danson Park. It's run completely by volunteers and you'll be made to feel most welcome at this lovely friendly event.
There are plenty of volunteering roles to choose from including marshals, barcode scanners, finish token giver-outers and tail walkers. You'll get a parkrun volunteer credit AND a GoodGym good deed after you've attended!
If you don't want to miss out on the actual run or walk, there are some roles you can do before or after.
📍 When and where
Meet at 8.30am on the south side of the lake in Danson Park, what3words///survey.things.lovely. Your contact is the Run Director, wearing a blue hi-vis jacket.
