Langport North Moor 2k / 1k monthly and free fun run Sunday 7th June at 10 am

This Sundays event we are calling a Festival fun rue as it is on the last day of Langport's week long Town festival.

Been sorting through the small jobs which we need to get  ready for Sunday's Junior run. The 8th in this new series. We base it very much on the "parkrun" model.
Trying to make sure we have the few key volunteers for time keeping for which we use an iPad, a finish marshal who gives out the numbered cards to allow us to match position with time and  few more marshals to keep an eye on the young runners. Asking mums and dads to marshal on the day  is not usually a problem. My wife sorts out the registration sheets which is key to keeping control of who is running and which option they choose i.e 1k or 2k. We started giving the 1k runners a sticky coloured lable so we could make sure they only run the shorter route. We try to keep it as simple as possible
We have had over 50 juniors running this event but so far they haven't all turned up at the same time so we have ranged from 12 to 25 runner per events so far. It seems to be more popular with the younger age range.
We must try to get to grips with finding one or two volunteers who can take on an event as organiser so we can have a break.
We have followed parkrun policy of giving some reward for numbers of event run by issuing certificates , So far we have issued two last month for 5 events completed and Sunday will see another 2 being presented.  At Easter we gave everyone a sweet which went down well. Perhaps we can get some local sponsorship for such extras. So far it is going very well and not had to cancel a single event due to bad weather since we started last November. Amazing I think. The forecast is looking good again for this Sunday.
