Clapham Common Parkrun needs volunteers to help at this weekend's event.

Marshals, Barcode Scanners and a Timekeeper are among the vacancies that need filling in order for the run to go ahead in Clapham on Saturday (March 19).

Volunteers are fundamental to all parkrun events being able to take place, and while parkrun are adamant there should be no pressure for parkrunners to volunteer, the event can't go ahead without them.

Parkrun organisers said in a tweet today: "We are really struggling for volunteers this week. Can you help?"

If you are able to volunteer for one of the roles listed below, email [email protected] with your barcode.
