Kingsbury Water Parkrun

9am Saturday. Kingsbury Water Park, B76 0DY



BADGERS TAKE OVER organised kindly by Alicia G

Have a look at the roster and see what takes your fancy...

https://www.parkrun.org.uk/kingsburywater/futureroster/

Please note this is a first come, first serve basis and general public can still apply to volunteer.

If all positions get filled then maybe they will let us double or even triple up on some marshal points. I know Ken and Margaret are firm regulars and part of the scenery. I'd like to respect them so maybe we could crew up with them too. I'll speak to Matt for logistics.

If anyone is willing to be a pacer maybe we could do this but will have to discuss it with the core team and depends on the up take.

Dress code - Badgers tops. I'll probably wear my Badgers shorts too so feel free to do the same if you have any. Oh or leggings etc.

If you choose not to volunteer and run instead then please could you encourage the other runners as you go round. I know you would generally do this anyway but I think it would be nice to cheer squad during the 5k.

Please note I have never organised one of these before so if I have missed anything then please let me know.

Thanks all

Ps. I think the cafe afterwards and maybe cake!
