Volunteering at parkrun
Volunteering at parkrun is an opportunity to get outside, make new friends, have fun, learn new skills and to be a valuable part of your local community. We are always looking for new volunteers. This page explains how to get involved.
How to get involved
Finding out about Troon parkrun volunteering opportunities couldn't be easier. Simply open a recent parkrun newsletter, results email or volunteer email, click on 'manage my profile', then 'email options', then select the events you'd like to hear from and click 'save opt-in events list'. You will then receive regular emails from those events letting you know all about their volunteering opportunities.
Future volunteer roster
You can see an event's future volunteer roster via their specific future roster page. To get in touch with the event directly, just send an email to troon@parkrun.com
What would I do at the Event?
First, and most importantly, we never ask anybody to do anything they're not comfortable with. If you don't want a particular task, please let us know and we will happily give you an alternative job. Nevertheless, none of our tasks are too stressful. You could be organising the finish funnel, operating the timer, or scanning barcodes using the simple Virtual Volunteer app. If you really want to do something in particular, please let us know and we'll see what we can do.
Remember as a volunteer you are the eyes and ears of parkrun. If you have any concerns that arise at a parkrun event, whether involving children or adults, you should discuss those concerns with the Run Director on the day, as soon as possible thereafter or email Head Office at eventsupport@parkrun.com.
The core team
Troon parkrun happens largely because of our fantastic volunteers. The weekly team of volunteers are led by a small group of parkrun enthusiasts who form what we call the 'core team': They make sure the event is setup and packed away each week, the results published, the tokens resorted, event reports written and so much more.
Event Directors - Gregor Wilson & Rachel Cox
We're very grateful to the help provided by everybody, both now and in the past, who've helped make Troon parkrun happen.
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.
