NEXT SATURDAY.
Next weekend, Alexandra, South Manchester AND Urmston are all cancelled. It's likely therefore we'll have big numbers again, especially being the end of the school holidays.
First and foremost, it's really important everyone listens to the RD briefing before the start. That goes for every week, especially now the works are starting in Longford park.
Second, everyone respects every other persons run and walk. Please be aware of who's around you and think about what they might do, especially if they don't know you're coming up behind them. If you need to slow down, do so - important at any event, and all the more so when we've 900 participants.
Because we know of the cancellations, we need extra volunteers to go ahead. On top of our normal volunteer numbers, we need 2 extra marshalls, 2 extra funnel managers and 2 extra barcode scanners. Our priority is always putting on a safe event, and knowing we'll be busy, we need to have the right numbers. If you've only ever run and not volunteered before, next week would be a great week to do volunteer stint No1.
Esther is our volunteer coordinator this week. Either drop a note below, or email at [email protected]. We need your parkrun ID, and the role you'd like to do.
Thank you.
