"We are always looking for volunteers to come along and help out on a Saturday morning.  

"If we don't have a full roster, we cannot go ahead. There are many roles to be undertaken and training will be given for them all.  

"If you would like to help out, please email greenock@parkrun.com or message our Facebook page."
