Heena Langston Awarded parkrun Recognition at King George Junior parkrun

The High Sheriff of Hertfordshire, Annie Brewster JP presented parkrun volunteer Heena Langston a Celebration of parkrun Award at the King George Junior parkrun in Bushey for outstanding contribution to the parkrun community. The sun was shining in King George Recreation Ground in Bushey for the special guest to hand out some milestone wrist bands, present Heena’s award and kickstart the junior parkrun.  

Heena has been volunteering at King George juniors for five years in the role of marshal as well as completing the event day course check on many occasions. Heena always volunteers at marshal point 13 encouraging the junior runners at the half-way point, as well as cheering them on for a sprint finish on the second lap. Heena is an amazing member of the team, volunteering week in week out in all weathers, always with a smile. King George juniors are so lucky to have a volunteer like her.

"In my year I’m making some special awards for those outstanding people who put so much into our sporting lives, they are the backbone of sport and physical activity. I was delighted to award a parkrun Award to dedicated volunteer Heena Langston who has been with the King George parkrun team from the beginning, consistently, cheerfully cheering on from Marshal Point 13 in all weathers!” 

The High Sheriff of Hertfordshire, Annie Brewster JP
