Does this mean that the other £3000 is made up by sponsors and some of the £3000 that the set up team have to raise cannot involve other potential sponsors who want to support local but not national events? Also what is this £3000 /£6000 used for exactly? Barcode scanners? Marshal vests? Finishing funnel? ???? Seems an awful lot. <br />Thanks<br />TracyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003040131364164958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038886879864095602.post-29303355601172688862017-03-01T20:31:03.058+00:002017-03-01T20:31:03.058+00:00Hi Simon.

I was wondering the other day - when talking a gent at my parkrun - how many times people volunteer. I have ran about 20 times and volunteered 3 times. <br /><br />The woman with the son who won parkrun was very proud to be announcing it and maybe it is a race for her son, although he doesn't get a prize. I know for certain I will never come first in a crowd of runners but I came JOINT FIRST last week coz I matched my Personal Best.... Now I am racing....

I understand the front runners will see it as a race and be keen to beat the other regular 'fasties' and I would be proud and boast if my son or daughter came in first at parkrun but I still wouldn't see it as a race as I am more in favour of 'the spirit of parkrun' which for me is about the social side as much as the running. Whilst volunteering I have witnessed a few (and it is only a few) of the fast finishers not appreciate the volunteers and the effort that goes in to putting parkrun on every week, or ever volunteer themselves and I wonder what their view of the rest of us is?<br /><br />I am in awe of the speed they can go and fully appreciate the effort involved but I do wish that everyone took their turn at volunteering so that they can see it from the other side and so that Run Directors do not have the weekly battle to get enough people to volunteer!<br /><br />OK, I went off track there a bit.... ;) <br /><br />Happy parkrun Saturday everyone!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11341009457467471338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038886879864095602.post-15172197171987871542013-09-19T19:03:21.056+01:002013-09-19T19:03:21.056+01:00Nicely said Ian.
