Yeah, it's good to step outside the comfort zone sometimes. Most recently for me that was taking photos at a cycle event - trying to remember to pay attention to the background and framing even in the heat of the moment!
Every week there will be a group of people running and jogging and walking around the same 5k parkrun courses. Every week is another opportunity to make pictures from a different position, or make different pictures from the same position, or perfect the same picture.
Some public events explicitly provide a role for volunteer photography and policy for that role:
