⏰ MYTH-BUSTING TIME! ⏰

❌ Myth: You have to walk, jog, or run at least once before you volunteer at parkrun

💯 Fact: No experience is needed to volunteer, there are loads of roles available, and it doesn't matter if you've never walked, jogged, or ran.

On Christmas Day last year, Charina and Ariel Giron received the best present imaginable as their son Miguel taught them a lesson in trust by letting him complete parkrun by himself.
