Bedford parkrun is in need of volunteers for this Saturday and for several weeks into the future. If you can donate one hour or so of your time, please click on the link for further information.

To keep our event going it requires you to volunteer three times per year. This event is free so come along and give something back to it.

Please do not expect nor assume our "regular" volunteers to cover the volunteering roles week in and week out.

If we do not get sufficient volunteers to fulfil specific roles we may either have to host the event without official results or cancel the event completely for that particular week.

Everyone is welcome to volunteer. All of the jobs are simple to do (even our youngest parkrunners help out). so please click on the link and follow the instructions.

Thank you.
