Congratulations to you all.

parkrun can only be held if there are enough volunteers. We challenge each Wits parkrunner to occasionally sacrifice running an event, and instead to fill one of the important volunteer roles like timekeeper, giving out finish tokens and barcode scanning. None of these roles are difficult and we’ll show you everything you need to do. Message us at [email protected] to let us know when you will volunteer. https://www.parkrun.co.za/wits/futureroster

This week we depended on 20 kind parkrunners that volunteered , and made today’s event possible - thanks to you all:

Francesca Parrini, James Ridley, Zaheer Laher, Peter D, Dale Van Der Merwe, Louwrens Van Schalkwyk, Zakiyyah Varachia, Zanele Mabathoana, Nombuso Nzuza, Ahmed Hanief Manjra, Rod Crompton, Jenny Grice, Fatima Kara, Abdul Mia, Mayet Yousuf, Lara Bloch, Despina Rockas, Alison Groves, Rob Millerd, Nazir Ahmed Talia

Stay warm, and see you next week 👋
