Alvaston parkrun

18:00 update - thanks to all our volunteers this week, we have a full roster in the park. Still no fast runner to reopen the carpark, so it's looking like 09:40 for carpark reopening tomorrow.

15.30 update - still only 1 timekeeper and no-one to reopen the car park. We can relieve you at 10am if you're a fast runner and can volunteer to reopen the car park after you've run...

Morning folks, we're mostly there, just 1 more marshal, someone to reopen the carpark, and 2 timekeepers! Yep - at the moment we have no-one to time keep. Do you have a bored teenager who is glued to their phone? We can put them to use! Not feeling it this week? Can tap your phone and count to 1? We need you! Drop us an email or comment here if you can help.

We're actually looking OK for a Wednesday in the Summer Holidays - thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far. We still need 3 marshals, 2 timekeepers, someone to hand out finish tokens, two barcode scanners as well as someone to reopen the carpark (could be a fast runner). Drop us an email or comment here if you can help. Thanks.

As a Run Director, there’s a certain satisfaction when everything goes smoothly. The course is ready, the volunteers are in place, everyone knows w...

Hmm this is a new one, the roster is looking fairly healthy for the 15th August however we have no one to give out tokens, and no bar code scanners yet! I think technically we would be able to go ahead but it would be difficult to give anyone a time!

Anyone fancy trying something new? We can offer a bit of shade so you can wear pink rather than getting a pink face…

Hoping to go ahead on August 15th, just need some Hi-viz heroes to come and join us…

Hi to all,
