New Parkrun - Cuningar Loop

 Posting this incase it is of interest to anyone.

I'm working closely with the Lanarkshire parkrun ambassador to start a new parkun at Cuningar Loop, a beautiful woodland park in Rutherglen. It’s a great location and we’re making good progress with the key needs to launch the event with the course and permission now in place.

A critical part of us being able to start the parkrun at Cuningar Loop is to have a core team of volunteers in place who will support the delivery and success of the event. The core team roles include Run Director and other volunteer roles who will run and co-ordinate the event each week.

I wanted to reach out to you to ask if you know of anyone in Calderglen Harriers who would be interested in joining the Cuningar Loop core team?  It’s a great opportunity to be involved in a brand new parkrun and all training and support will be given by me and local parkrun teams.

If anyone is interested in joining the core team, they can email me at laurynmartin@outlook.com or give me a call or message on 07477123444.

In addition, in order to start a parkrun, we need to fundraise for vital equipment, such as a defibrillator, which every parkrun must have. The total funding requirement is £4,800. If you or your members are away of any potential funders from your connections, I would be very appreciative if you could let me know.

Thanks very much for reading this and hopefully we’ll see some of your members at Cuningar Loop parkrun in the future!
