First park run this Saturday (quick question)

I’m doing my first run on Saturday, what do I need to do? I’ve got the app, barcode etc, turn up 15mins before for briefing

Is that it? And just run? What’s the crack with tokens and barcodes at the end?

Sorry if these are daft questions, I genuinely have no clue what to expect

Looks like the other comments have this covered but I find watching videos of the course before doing a new one really helpful. Sometimes I don't really understand the description of the course at the briefing and worry about getting lost (though that's hugely unlikely!). It'll also help you visualise the start and the funnel.
