Risk Assessment Training Video
As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping parkrun events safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone, familiarising and maintaining an up-to-date Risk Assessment is a vital responsibility for all event teams and Run Directors.
Risk assessments help us identify potential hazards early, ensure consistency, and safeguard our participants, volunteers, and local communities during each event.
Whether you are a new Run Director, Event Director, or an experienced ambassador looking for a quick refresher, please take a few minutes to watch the video and review the event’s current risk assessment.
