Friday 3pm update - and we're good to go! Of course if you still want to volunteer we can always find a role for you, just let us know. Otherwise we'll see you in the park in the morning (Fancy dress optional but preferred!) 👻🧙‍♀️🧛‍♂️🧟🙀

Friday 9am update - thanks to all the volunteers so far. Just need 3 more and we're good to go!

Help! At the moment we have the grand total of 1 - yes one! - marshal for Saturday. We need at least 8! For any volunteer role chasers there's also the opportunity for a rare 'other' credit for anyone willing to chaperone the tree that is going to be causing a bottleneck just after Complex Corner. Email or comment if you can help. In other news, we will have the Derby Homes car park back this Saturday - please be patient with our marshals though and don't try to open the gates yourselves. Our marshals will have the fobs to open the gates, and we don't want them breaking again because someone tried to open them by hand.

Could anything be scarier than Storm Boelo? YES! Alvaston's Halloween parkrun! As per usual Charlie will be overseeing this years spooky event. At the stroke of 9am our cones will turn into pumpkins, and there will be the usual fancy dress competition (optional but highly encouraged!) We have lots of vacancies for volunteers - scream if you can help!

Mike will be welcoming first timers at around 8.50 by the parkrun flag.

The toilets will be open and the cafe will be open for a post parkrun warm drink/breakfast.

We are still looking for the last few volunteers to be able to go ahead on Saturday. Always harder at school holidays. 🙏
Marshal spots, finish tokens, token sorting 🙏
Derby Homes will be closed, so please leave extra time and park considerately.

We will announce if we are able to go ahead by Friday 7pm

We are still looking for marshals, barcode scanners, finish tokens, first timers and token sorting 🙏🙏🙏

It’s that time of year when it’s not quite so nice standing in the park. But volunteering gives us a little glow inside, so why not come along and try it!
