Are you looking for a fun and rewarding outdoor volunteer activity? Then Kensington parkrun is for you!
Kensington parkrun organizes a free, weekly, timed 5K events in Rock Creek Park in Montgomery County. Events are held every Saturday morning at 9:00am. Kensington parkrun starts and finishes on Rock Creek Trail near Beach Dr and Cedar Ln. After the event is over, participants and volunteers have the opportunity to go to La Gelatteria for coffee, tea, breakfast, or gelato. A free one-time registration at http://www.parkrun.us/register/ will provide you with a barcode that you can use to either volunteer or participate at any of the 2000+ parkruns world-wide. parkrun occurs solely because of the generosity of volunteers.

Volunteer activities last about 2 hours and include tasks such as handing our finisher tokens, operating smartphone-based stopwatches and scanners (volunteers must use their own phone), taking photographs, and directing participants at turnaround locations.
