🎤FEEDBACK FROM THE FIELD🎤

The parkrun crowd was tiny with only about 80 people there that day. They were celebrating Deepavali and Presint 18 parkrun, Putrajaya's 5th birthday and had a cake which they happily handed out to everyone. There was a solid and VERY enthusiastic event team.

In fact, dare I say the MOST enthusiastic event team I've ever seen?

Watch this video to see what I mean I've never seen a volly team have so much fun! https://fb.watch/oBoTqTHRl_/?mibextid=Nif5oz

After finishing our sweltering parkrun and laughing our heads off as the event team danced like no-one was watching, one long-term expat and very regular volunteers kindly drove us to the strangest post-parkrun breakfast I've ever been to.

Mustaffa, a local, helped me order a local breakfast for Brad and I, and as we tucked into traditional Malay food. Another local, Fiona, gave me a list of suggestions for what to do in the city the next day. We were entertained with hilarious stories by Peter, an Australian living in Kuala Lumpur long term and we left feeling full in our bellies as well as our hearts.

*** First Timers Welcome Explained ***

Volunteering at parkrun is easy! You can contact every parkrun using the email on their event website or through their social media channels or simply speak to any of the volunteers on the day.

In this video, we explore the First Timers Welcome. This role creates a welcoming and friendly atmosphere for first timers and visitors by describing parkrun, its inclusiveness and ethos, and highlighting any course-specific information.

This role can also be combined with your walk or run, attracting a dual participation credit!

*** Feedback from the Field ***

Mustaffa has been a parkrun regular for the last year. He joined in for 5th birthday celebrations Presint 18 parkrun, Putrajaya this weekend and bagged a PB too! This is what he had this to say:

"I am really grateful to parkrun for improving my fitness. I recently competed in the Ministry of Health athletic games where I obtained personal bests in 1500m and 4*400m relay."
