Volunteering - get involved with your parkrun!

Your parkrun depends on you volunteering 3 times a year. If you'd like to be included on our volunteer mailing list, please drop us an email - CoventryHelpers@parkrun.com. We are still looking for volunteers to fill vacant positions in December and we welcome hearing from you if you are able to help.

Remember - we don't want our regular runners to be penalised in the yearly points competition just because they volunteered, so every runner gets full points for volunteering on up to three occasions per year.

Second anniversary


 

Coventry parkrun celebrates its second anniversary on 4 February - WOHOOO!

Please come if you can! We plan to mark the end the second year and start of our third year of Coventry parkrun. Don't forget to bring your friends and family along to help celebrate the occasion. Even if you don't plan to run or volunteer, parkrun is for everyone, and everybody has contributed to making it a success..

Please arrive a little earlier (8.40am) as there will be a short awards ceremony before the parkrun.

Fancy dress is very much encouraged, but by no means compulsory. A theme this time around - Countries of the World.

After the parkrun, there will be cake! and you are invited to bring and share your own tasty food or drink for after the parkrun.
