- Pre-racecourse preparations (going over and measuring the course leading up to the race).
- Helping at race kit pick up prior to race day or putting race kits together.

**What we are looking for**:

- Motivated individuals who have experience working at or participating in races.
- You can lift 50lb and can walk 10,000 steps per day.
- You can work outside in a variety of conditions (we host races through all seasons).
- You’re curious about race and hosting events and want to learn more - we’ll provide training to build your skills.
- You’re a “can do” person who likes to learn new things.
- You have strong customer service skills and are personable. You can interact with the runners in a friendly and outgoing professional manner.
- You take initiative and can work both independently and as part of a team.
