What you will be doing

Junior parkrun takes place every Sunday, 9am on London Fields. Volunteers are needed from 8.45am to 9.45am. We meet near the benches, outside the Lido.

The role of the Junior Parkrun Marshal is to keep children and young people safe and having fun! You will be part of a core team of volunteers, with different roles each week.

There is something for everyone at parkrun, you could be setting up the course, scanning people’s barcodes at the finish or ensuring everyone gets safely around the route as a marshal. We never ask anybody to do anything they're not comfortable with and if you want to do a particular volunteer role, please let us know and we'll try to accommodate.

You will need to Register for parkrun in order to volunteer with us.
