Halifax Parkrun and Halifax Junior Parkrun relies on local volunteers who turn up every week to ensure this opportunity is free and available to any child or young person
Volunteering at Parkrun is an opportunity to get outside, make new friends, have fun, learn new skills and to be a valuable part of your local community. This event depends on volunteers. You could be organising the finish funnel, operating the timer, or scanning barcodes using the simple Virtual Volunteer app.. You can volunteer alone or team up with someone else, and there are always people on hand if you have any questions.
