After a long week, many of you will love a Saturday morning
lie-in. I sure do. However, I've given up the past couple of Saturday mornings to help
out with an event being held in Palm Bay, Margate, called Parkrun. You may have heard of these events being held elsewhere, but its now come to Thanet!
Basically, it’s a free timed 5km (about 3 miles) run
along the seafront between the Cliftonville Bandstand and the Pumping Station each Saturday. Run by volunteers, it’s a community-led event giving opportunity for people to
get together and have some fun, running at whatever pace suits them. It won’t take
long and the event is over by 10am!
Volunteers and runners simply need to register online
and print off a barcode that they bring to the event and can be used at
any Parkrun event across the country. The jobs involved in running these events are simple and wont keep you too long. Any help
would be very welcome.
