West Links parkrun volunteer

West Links parkrun is a free weekly 5km event for participants of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 9:30am in West Links Park, Queen’s Drive, Arbroath, DD11 1QD .

It offers an opportunity for all the local community, regardless of age or gender, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy the outdoors and get physically active. We want to encourage people to run, jog, walk and volunteer together – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is free!

Everyone is welcome to volunteer too, and we’d love you to join in. There are plenty of opportunities to try new roles, apply your skills or learn new ones, be with friends and family, meet people and be a part of the parkrun community.


Come and try one of the following roles: marshalling, tail walker, parkwalker, photographer, barcode scanner, time keeper, funnel manager, finish token provider, number checker, first timer brief, set up, close down and report writer.


Many of our roles are open to young people under 18, although some may be restricted due to safeguarding reasons. We never ask anybody to do anything they're not comfortable with and if you want to do a particular volunteer role, please let us know and we'll try to accommodate you. On the day, you are always supported by other volunteers too.


From volunteering once to volunteering regularly we can also be flexible on how often you volunteer.


Do you work for a local charity or organisation? Would your work team like to come along to do a park run take over? Contact us to find out how you can volunteer as a group at parkrun.


We'd love to hear from you to see how you could fit into the parkrun community.
