🌟 Volunteers Needed! 🌟

Barking junior parkrun can’t happen without our amazing volunteers – and we’d love for YOU to join the team! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Whether it’s cheering on our junior runners, marshalling on the course, or helping at the finish line, every role is simple, fun, and makes a big difference. 💛

📅 When: Sunday morning from 8:45am
📍 Where: Barking Park

No experience needed – just bring your enthusiasm and a smile. It’s a great way to support the community, meet new people, and be part of something special.

You don’t have to commit every week - we are particularly short of volunteers for next week and through October so if you can help any Sunday then please let us know.

It’s an hour of your time that helps us create magic!

👉 Interested? Drop us a message at [email protected].

Exciting news 🗞️

We are really excited to announce that the popular ‘5k’ app will be joining the parkrun family from Monday 1 December.

Working with parkrunners, we will develop the app into a one-stop shop for everything parkrun.

The app will remain ‘as-is’ for now and no changes will be made to how it currently operates without meaningful consultation with the parkrun community.
