Catford #parkrun 339 saw 191 finishers in slippery conditions - there were 33 1st timers, with 3 doing their 1st parkrun. There were 24 PBs some helped by our brilliant team of pacers. As always, a massive thank you to the 31 volunteers who made it all happen!

Can you pace other runners to a #parkrun time of 20 to 30 minutes? Can you marshal (a guide is attached)? Can you scan tokens or hand them out? If your answer is yes to any of them & can be in Catford on Saturday we’d love to hear from you! Apply via the link.

We are short of marshals, scanners and someone to hand out finish tokens (as in barcodes with the finish place rather than money off vouchers for dishwasher products). If you can help, please do get in touch via the link. Thank you!
