Jovi Runner Aug 2016 8:50am, 11 Aug 2016 4,297 posts	Quote 1 pin Jovi Runner People who rock up and run at parkrun every week and never volunteer (Jovi runner stands back and dives for cover). It really does wind me up - why people feel they can expect an event just to magically happen every week without feeling a commitment to offer to help even just once is beyond be and utterly selfish.

[I confess to having never volunteered, though I always intend to. My average attendance at parkrun is four times a year.]
