Hi Las Vegas parkrunners!
Harry and Andrew have been working hard over the past few weeks to make the arrangements to make this a reality. Forms, permits, insurance, risk assessments. It's all important stuff which has to be done.
We are getting closer to launch!
However parkrun would not be possible without the team of volunteers who attend events to help with time-keeping and general coordination. Here's what an event of our size would generally needs:
Run Director (the boss!)
Time keeper (the most important one for those of us who are competitive!)
Barcode scanner (makes sure you get your results on email)
Token keeper (closely guards our valuable asset of finish tokens - more on that later)
Tail walker (brings up the rear and makes sure everyone gets around the course while enjoying a more gentle pace)
As you can see, these are all important roles and can be undertaken by anyone while getting a great sense of inclusion.
We have a number of you who are really keen to see a parkrun in Las Vegas get launched, would you be able to help out on occasion or do you have a non-running friend or family member who would be able to assist?
We are not looking to ask people to commit to volunteering each and every week, just once every few weeks would be great, the more the better!
Please comment below if you would like to help, or know someone who could. There's no commitment at this time, we just need to grow our volunteer pool!
Please remember, parkrun isn't possible without those of us who volunteer!
