Volunteering at Lesnes Abbey Woods Junior Parkrun

GoodGym Bexley volunteers help run the Lesnes Abbey Woods junior parkrun, a free weekly 2k run for 4-14 year olds.

GoodGym Bexley members support the Lesnes Abbey Woods junior parkrun, a free weekly 2k event for juniors aged 4 to 14 that is entirely organised by volunteers. Volunteers take on roles such as marshalling, barcode scanning, handing out finish tokens and tail walking, and cheer on the young runners around the course. No prior experience is needed and participants don't have to be runners; volunteers must request a role on the parkrun roster before signing up. The session runs 08:30-09:45, with an optional coffee at the Chestnuts kiosk afterwards and a separate woodland conservation task at 10am.
