Parkrun volunteers - Orkney

Kirkwall parkrun takes place every Saturday morning, starting at The Peedie Sea at 9.30am. It is an organised run, jog or walk which is free to participate in. Registration is online with participants printing off their personalised barcode which is scanned at the finish line to allow the results to be emailed to the participant. They are in need of volunteers to be marshalls, tail walkers, barcode scanners, handing out finishing tokens and being timekeepers.

Both scanning and timekeeping will require use of the parkrun app so a mobile phone will be required.

Experience required

Volunteers must be friendly and enthusiastic to encourage the participants.
You will be working as part of a team.
