Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Let's talk about inaugural parkruns after they've happened.

LukeyB - the best way to offer to help would be to contact the local ambassador, they can put you in touch with any event team if there are any

HellsBells thank you for the info. I’d definitely be interested to do that. Apologies but I have no idea how I would go about finding out who my local ambassador would be?! Any guidance please? Much appreciated

I'd probably drop Street, or Frogmary Green an email, or pop down and say hi, and express your interest / see if they can direct you to their ambassador - Good luck with Sherbourne!

The ambassador will probably be responsible for around half a dozen or so local parkruns so any in the local area should be able to put you in touch with them. You could also email one of them and ask if they could put you in touch. I am sure the ambassador would welcome you with open arms if you are offering to be part of a core team.

LukeyB I agree about dropping Frogmary Green an email, many of them were involved with Montacute so bound to know something.
I do know the ambassadors in Devon but not sure if they extend into Somerset and Dorset.

I’ll be volunteering at an inaugural this week, the third time in ten weeks, they’re coming thick and fast in the local area at the moment!

Not that I would attend as you are too far away for one, but its really not the done thing I have tried to find based on where your running club is, I failed! I guess the parkrun events map is not showing it yet. I like a challenge in my coffee break.....hay ho.....good for parkrun mind. (My last inaugural was 2017 and I expect it will be staying that way)

Baysgarth parkrun for me this week I think...

About This Thread

Maintained by sLickster
There may be an inaugural parkrun happening near you. Best to check with the local parkrun volunteers to see if they want you to know about it or not.

Otherwise there are plenty of already established parkruns to go to in the UK and abroad, see: parkrun.org.uk
