Job description

READY, SET, GO!

Get your application in to become our next Races Lead Worker! At St. George Races & Special Events, we don't just put on races-we create experiences. We turn parks, streets, and finish lines into places filled with energy, excitement, and memories. We come up with themes, build event sites, create the atmosphere, work with volunteers, solve problems before most people even know there was a problem, and occasionally find ourselves wearing outstanding costumes.

The job starts long before the first runner arrives. You'll help prep, load, set up, decorate, organize, operate, and manage events-and when the last participant crosses the finish line, you'll help tear everything back down.

We're looking for someone who is energetic, creative, dependable, hardworking, and willing to jump in wherever they're needed. Someone who can handle a fast-paced environment, enjoys working with people, and has a great attitude. As St. George Races like to say that \"We Run this Town\" and we would like to invite you to come run it with us!!
