Hi 5K friends and Heathcote Running Club.
Can anyone help us out at parkrun this Saturday in a couple of volunteer roles please?
The very popular 🦺tailwalker🦺 role is up for grabs too!

This means you can volunteer and still get your 5k in as well!

🙋 WE’VE GOT A VEST WITH YOUR NAME ON IT🦺

Our volunteer roster for Saturday 5 September is filled, thank you to all the amazing volunteers who put their hands up! 👏

But there are still a few vests waiting for their people in the next couple of weeks 🦺

Never volunteered before? Perfect! No experience is needed, we’ll show you what to do, and there’ll be plenty of friendly faces around to help😀

Not running this week? Having a rest? Recovering from an injury? Coming along to support someone else? You can still be part of the Saturday morning fun😁

Volunteering is one of the best ways to meet people, have a laugh and see parkrun from a completely different perspective. And yes… the volunteer vest is very fashionable. 😆

💜 Can you fill one of our empty vests next Saturday?🦺

Comment below, message us, or email [email protected] and we’ll pop your name on the roster.

🐾 BARKRUN DIARIES — MEET JACK! 🐾

Hello Heathcote! Jack here. 👋🐶

Apparently I’ve been given the very important job of launching Barkrun Diaries at McIvor Creek Trail parkrun, Heathcote.

My official title?

Chief Happiness Officer.

I think it suits me. 😌

My qualifications include being a Pet Therapy Dog, a bit of a Heathcote local icon, and having many years of experience in the highly specialised fields of pats, smiles and making people’s day better.

Each Wednesday, one of my four-legged friends will be taking over Barkrun Diaries. We’ll introduce you to some of the pooches who join their humans at McIvor Creek Trail parkrun — and, while we’re here, we might teach our humans a thing or two about being a responsible barkrunner. 🐕‍🦺

So, as your inaugural Chief Happiness Officer, here is my first official Barkrun reminder:
🐾 One dog per parkrunner.
🐾 Keep us on a short, hand-held, non-extendable lead.
🐾 Please don’t use a waist harness at parkrun.
🐾 Keep us under control and close to you throughout the event.
🐾 Start in a position where you and your pooch are comfortable and considerate of everyone around you.
🐾 And remember — our humans are responsible for us (including dealing with any little… ahem… deposits we may leave behind). 💩

Most importantly, parkrun is for everyone. Walkers, joggers, runners, volunteers, children, grown-ups — and those of us arriving on four paws.

We share the trail, give each other space and look after one another.

That’s how we make Saturday mornings safe, welcoming and fun for everyone. ❤️

I’ll be keeping an eye on things, of course.

Chief Happiness Officer responsibilities and all that. 😎🐾

Next Wednesday I’ll hand Barkrun Diaries over to another member of the McIvor Creek Trail canine community.

Who will it be? 👀🐶

Until then…

🐾Paws. People. parkrun.
See you Saturday!

Chief Happiness Officer
