To thrive as a Running Event Coordinator, you need expertise in event planning, logistics management, and a good understanding of health and safety regulations, often supported by a degree in event management or related experience.

Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for coordinating staff, volunteers, and participants.

Common Search/ComparisonPeople compare roles related to organizing running eventsRoles focused on planning and executing races

While a Running Event refers to the actual organized race or marathon, a Race Coordinator is responsible for planning, coordinating, and managing the event. The Race Coordinator handles logistics, permits, and staffing, ensuring the Running Event runs smoothly. Both roles often overlap but differ in focus: one is the event itself, the other the role managing its execution.

What are running events?

Running events are organized races or competitions where participants run a specified distance, usually on roads, tracks, or trails. These events can range from short sprints, like 5K and 10K races, to longer distances such as half-marathons, marathons, and ultramarathons. Running events often attract runners of all skill levels and may include additional activities like fundraising, community gatherings, or entertainment. Participants usually register in advance and receive items such as race bibs, timing chips, and sometimes medals or T-shirts. These events promote fitness, camaraderie, and often support charitable causes.

Job description

Description:

At Palm Aire Country Club, great service doesn’t just happen in the dining room, it happens behind the scenes, in the way rooms are set, details are handled and timing comes together seamlessly. This role sits right at the center of it all. Not quite part-time, not quite full-time, this position offers consistent hours with built-in variety. You’ll move between food running during service and setting up and breaking down event spaces, helping bring everything from casual member dining to large-scale club events to life.


One shift might have you delivering plates during a busy lunch, the next resetting a room for an evening event and sometimes both in the same day. While our pace follows the season and event calendar, this is not a seasonal position. We are looking for someone who brings structure, consistency and reliability to the role, someone the team can count on year-round. We are also not a late-night operation, most shifts wrap at a reasonable hour, making this a great fit for someone who enjoys hospitality without the typical late-night schedule.


Some days move quickly, others give you room to reset, but there is always a standard to uphold. If you take pride in being part of a team that makes things look effortless (even when they’re not), you’ll fit in well here. If you enjoy staying active and being involved in both service and events, we’d love to meet you.

Requirements:What You’ll Do
  • Deliver food from the kitchen to members quickly, accurately and with attention to presentation and timing
  • Work closely with the kitchen and service team to ensure orders arrive together and meet club standards
  • Set up event spaces from the ground up, tables, chairs, linens, place settings and all the finishing touches
  • Break down rooms efficiently after events and reset them for the next function or service
  • Flip spaces between events, sometimes on tight timelines, while keeping everything organized and consistent
  • Keep an eye on details, from food presentation to room appearance and speak up when something isn’t right
  • Support private events, banquets and club functions to ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish
  • Jump in where needed because in a good team, everyone pulls their weight
What We’re Looking For
  • Someone who moves with purpose and takes pride in doing things right
  • A team player who notices what needs to be done and gets it done
  • Strong attention to detail, you care how things look and how they run
  • A positive attitude in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
  • Reliability and consistency because the team depends on you
Requirements
  • Ability to stand and move for extended periods
  • Ability to lift and carry trays, chairs and equipment
  • Availability for weekends, evenings and holidays
  • Previous hospitality experience preferred, not required
Benefits
  • 100% employer-paid health, dental and vision insurance (eligible employees)
  • Above-market PTO and sick time
  • 401(k) with 4% employer match
  • Team-oriented work environment
