RACE COORDINATOR
Highland is planning to host a weekday evening race series, designed in the spirit of Highland’s “Training” mission and similar to the vibes that corporate ski race leagues bring—casual, competitive, and community-focused. We’re looking for a part-time Race Coordinator to help bring this vision to life. The Race Coordinator will be responsible for managing the weekly races, ensuring smooth series including pre-event planning, race day operations and results. You’ll work closely with our marketing and operations team to create a fun, fair, and memorable experience for all participants.

 

 

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Experience organizing or working in outdoor events, races, or leagues (mountain biking a plus)
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Comfortable working outdoors in all conditions
  • Ability to lead volunteers and manage multiple moving pieces
  • Basic knowledge of mountain bike trails, riding culture, and safety best practices
  • Familiarity with race timing systems or willingness to learn
  • Must be available for race nights (likely weekday evenings) and limited pre-event hours

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Pre-Race Planning:
    • Work with team to design race formats and weekly course layouts
    • Communicate race information to participants (emails, social media, updates)
    • Maintain registration and results tracking
    • Coordinate with other departments for trail availability, maintenance, and weather contingencies
  • Race Day Operations:
    • Oversee race setup, including course marking, signage, and timing equipment
    • Coordinate volunteers and support staff
    • Manage racer check-in and plate/chip timing distribution
    • Troubleshoot issues that arise during the event
    • Host awards after the race, and post results in a timely and accurate manner

Schedule: Part-time, must be available on race days, with most hours occurring on afternoons/evenings. The race series will run on Thursdays for 5 weeks in the spring (May 8th – June 5th), and a separate summer series on Fridays with exact dates to be confirmed.
