Who's up for a challege this August? β¬οΈ Read full post for details of offer for football fans! β½οΈ
Milton Country parkrun invites junior parkrunners / volunteers who would like FREE TICKETS to Cambridge United Football matches on 15 or 29 August to join a Saturday 5k parkrun and qualify for this opportunity they've got via parkrun partner Brookes. π₯
To be eligible, you need to run or walk the 5k parkrun (important: under 11's must be accompanied by an adult during the run for the Saturday 5k - it's not possible to go round on your own like you can on a Sunday) οΈOR email [email protected] if you would like to volunteer on a Saturday (under 18's need an adult with them to volunteer).
If you'd like to try the Saturday 5k parkrun, it mainly works the same way as our Sunday 2k event, and you'll attend a First Timers' Welcome and scan your normal parkrun barcode at the finish and/or get a volunteer credit. It's very friendly, you complete it in your own time (fine to walk the whole thing) and there is a tail walker to help at the back of the pack. πββοΈ πββοΈ πΆββοΈ πΆββοΈ
We do need to warn you that completing the 5k won't count towards your next junior wristband though - sorry, there's a different system for 5k milestones!
Look out for familiar faces if you go - a small number of our juniors and volunteers also run/volunteer on a Saturday π The Milton Saturday 5k parkrun website is here: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/miltoncountry
