The minimum donation is £3 per month, and you can choose your own value, although the screen initially seems to suggest you can only use one of their defaults. I’ll stick with my current policy of intermittently giving my local parkrun £1 for each parkrun I’ve done. Which reminds me I’m a bit behind with that!

Bazoaxe Feb 2019 9:40am, 28 Feb 2019 14,102 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe I am happy to volunteer as I think thats only right when others do so for me. I also wouldnt be averse to a small running fee if thete was a way to achieve that. Not sure I would sign up to a regular monthly payment as my parkruns are sporadic, with spells of running them and spells of not running them. I would also prefer the majority to go to my local run(s)
