Coombs parkrun

Coombs parkrun A free, weekly, timed 5km walk/jog/run at 8am every Saturday - rain, hail or shine. Open to all ages Despite the name, parkrun isn’t just about running!

We welcome those who want to walk or jog, young and old (and everyone in between) and it’s never a race. There’s no time limit, and you’ll never be the last to cross the finish line - that’s the job of our tail walker!

This week we’re shining the spotlight on Rebecca, a familiar face at Coombs parkrun whose enthusiasm for running, volunteering and celebrating milestones with cupcakes has made her a valued part of the parkrun community. Here's her story!

How did you first get involved in parkrun, both as a participant and a volunteer? 😊
My parkrun obsession started with Coombs parkrun on June 15 2019 -nearly 7 years to the day! We were enabled by some awesome friends who persuaded us to finally give it a go despite the freezing winter conditions. My first volunteer was as a marshal in 2022 after I plucked up the courage to ask for an easy role.

What do you enjoy most about running (or walking) at parkrun? 👟Milestone cupcakes 🧁! I have an awesome bunch of friends and collectively we like to make sure that every milestone no matter how big or small is celebrated with breakfast cupcakes. 100 runs? Cupcake! 50 volunteers? Cupcake! Birthday? Cupcake. Usually we make enough for a small army and we're generally happy to share.

What made you decide to start volunteering as well? 🙌
So many reasons! Feeling brave, wanting to play a bigger role in the community, wanting to teach my kids that volunteers are critical, and dare I say it... It's a great way to stay involved when you're injured.

What would you say to someone who is thinking about taking part or volunteering for the first time? 💛It's such a great way to start the weekend with literally hundreds of people giving you a smile and saying thank you! Especially if you're the photographer - it's amazing how even the most tortured souls manage to give the camera a smile, jump or wave.

What are your parkrun stats? 📊
224 Parkruns @ 23 locations including in New Zealand and Norway
29 volunteers @ 4 locations - but mostly Coombs!

Can you help? We are looking for a halfway marshal (yes, technically it isn't quite halfway but close enough).

Can you cheer on and encourage parkrunners as they come past?

Can't help this weekend, why not consider volunteer for one of the coming weeks?
