We had such a brilliant morning helping out again at Junior parkrun on the Town Moor (Newcastle)
Charlotte and Amy were there first to meet just outside the Cafe in Exhibition Park. They were shortly followed by Louise and Andrew, Katy, Ross, Rachel and Dan.
Big kudos to Amy for completing her first Community Mission! (I’m sure it will be first of many!)
We all had a short walk together to the volunteer briefing which is excellent at Junior parkrun and so well organised. We all had a variety of roles, including scanning parkrun barcodes at the finish line, tail walker and marshalling.
We all picked up our high viz, and at Junior parkrun you also get a lanyard which has emergency contact details on, a little map and explaination of each role, and a whistle in case help is required.
We got a big thank you from the Run Director at the beginning. They were very grateful for the help of GoodGym Newcastle to fill the roles/Volunteer Roster.
Each position is so well explained, and they had organised the marshal points so that they were close enough together as it was so foggy!
Everyone had great fun in giving their support, encouragement, cheering and lots of high fives.
I think everyone’s favourite was picking a musical instrument to shake and make lots of noise! (this is just a fun option to choose if you like) to help with cheering on, for example with a Tambourine (Great fun!)
We will definitely be back at Junior parkrun, so come along and join us in March!
