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 - Hackney-MarshesHelpers@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.
