Lead Bike Volunteer Role

Posted on by

We've added a new role to our regular volunteer roster - "lead bike".

The role of the lead bike volunteer is to cycle the course ahead of the first participant to provide directions and ensure the public along the route are informed of incoming participants.

This is particularly important as our attendance numbers continue to grow and our course is on paths shared with other park users.

As always:

If you can help out with any of the roles, please email us at maribyrnong@parkrun.com.

Reopening – What To Expect

Posted on by

Only 2 more sleeps until we're back parkrunning at Maribyrnong this Saturday! :)

For the time being our events will operate under the parkrun COVID-19 framework - here are the key changes:

  • QR codes for contact tracing will be on display around the start/finish area.
  • The pre-event briefing will be short (approximately 2 mins), will only include safety information and will start just before 8:00am.
  • We'll have more barcode scanner volunteers than normal and they'll be spread out more than normal.
  • Barcode scanning will be "contactless" - the parkrunner shows their personal barcode to the volunteer to scan, then shows their finish token to the volunteer to scan, then drops their finish token into the container provided.
  • There'll be no printed volunteer roster available during the event - if you'd like to volunteer, please email maribyrnong@parkrun.com or send us a Facebook message.

Some other points that are also worth repeating:

  • if you're unwell, please stay home
  • please position yourself at the start based on your expected finish time - this will help reduce congestion (especially during the first 1km)
  • please follow normal COVID-19 practices (e.g. social distancing)

Contact Tracing QR Code

Posted on by

Our events at Maribyrnong parkrun have a unique QR code that you can use to check in at Maribyrnong parkrun for COVID-19 contact tracing purposes.

We ask that all volunteers and participants check in each week - you can do this by scanning the QR codes on display at the event or by scanning the QR code in this article (it's the same code).

The state government knows that parkrun operates Saturday mornings - roughly 8am-9am - so it's OK for you to check in before or after the event if you prefer (you don't have to bring a phone to parkrun).

In most cases you should be able to open the camera app on your phone, point your phone at the QR code and it'll automatically scan the QR code and pop up a link to kick off the check in process. If you have any issues with this then alternatively you can use the Service Victoria app and enter location code B7G 8Z7.
