East Coast Park parkrun

🤔 Have you ever thought about joining the core team at East Coast Park parkrun as a Run Director?

Being a Run Director is a fantastic way to be part of the parkrun community. Don't worry if you've never done it before — full training and support are provided, and you'll always have an experienced team around you.

As a Run Director, you'll help make sure our event runs smoothly, welcome participants and volunteers, and play a key role in creating the friendly atmosphere that makes parkrun so special.

No previous Run Director experience is required — just enthusiasm for parkrun, a willingness to learn, and a desire to help our community thrive.

If you've been coming along to East Coast Park parkrun and would like to get more involved, we'd love to hear from you. Whether you're curious about the role or ready to give it a go, reach out to the Core Team and we'll happily chat through what's involved.

Interested? Drop us a message or have a chat with one of the Run Directors on Saturday. We'd love to welcome some new faces to the Core Team! 😊💜

🎬 Every great parkrun has a beginning… and an ending!

We’re looking for two hi-vis heroes to help make both happen this week:

🟢 Event Day Course Checker – be the first to hit the course, making sure everything is ready so we can start safely.

🔴 Tail Walker – bring up the rear, cheer everyone home, and help us finish safely with no one left behind.

✨ The best bit? Both roles can be done alongside your parkrun, so you’ll still get your walk, jog or run PLUS a volunteer credits! 🙌

If you can help us kick things off or bring everyone home, pop your hand up below or send us a message. We’d love to have you on the team! 🧡🦺

📋 Pinch 🤏, punch 🥊, first day of the month... and that means it's the perfect time to sign up as a volunteer! 🧡

We are looking ahead to event #506 and would love a few wonderful volunteers to help fill the roster:

💜 First timers welcome
💜 2 x timekeepers
💜 Barcode scanners
💜 Tailwalkers(s)
