Celebrating volunteers.
Walk, jog, run, volunteer, spectate… there are so many ways you can join in at parkrun. Inside the pages of the latest issue, we celebrate volunteers: the teams of people who come together each weekend to ensure that parkrun events take place enjoyably and safely. Being a volunteer doesn’t require any special skills – in fact, it’s a chance to learn new ones! Volunteering is also a brilliant opportunity to meet new people. We hear from volunteers of all ages from all over the UK, chatting about what putting on the hi-vis means to them.
Community.
There’s an interview with Casualty star George Rainsford, who challenged himself to complete parkruns in every town he visited during a recent theatre tour, as well as the latest news about parkrun’s development as a charity. Plus, if you’ve ever been daunted by the thought of trying out a new hobby, we’ve found out about a few pastimes and sports you might like to try… and spoken to people who enjoy them.
