Hello muggles, witches, wizards and house elves and pets!

It has come to my attention that Rhodes parkrun is fast approaching, and we're a little short on volunteers.

As you all know, Rhodes parkrun is the finest parkrun in the wizarding and muggle worlds, but we need your help to make the magic happen this Saturday!

If you can spare a little time to volunteer, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every smile and lending hand counts!

Please note: In accordance with the latest directive from the Minister of Magic, volunteers are unfortunately not permitted to cast spells on participants, including Wingardium Leviosa up hills, Accio Finish Token, or Engorgio Legs to improve your sprint finish. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
