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. 💛

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.
