• Build and schedule campaigns using our in-house CMS, segmenting databases to reach the right runners.
• Create and schedule social media posts via Hootsuite, tailoring content to drive engagement and entries.
• Develop creative copy, visuals and short videos aligned with our friendly, inclusive tone of voice.
• Track performance, report on key metrics, and use insights to refine and improve campaigns.

You’ll need:
• 1–2 years’ experience in email and social media marketing.
• Excellent copywriting and creative content skills.
• A love for data, detail and deadlines.
• Confidence using marketing tools such as Hootsuite, CMS platforms and analytics dashboards.
• Most importantly — you’re a runner! You understand the community, the lingo and what motivates people to lace up and race.

Why join us?
We’re a small, passionate team that loves what we do. You’ll have flexibility in how you work, the freedom to bring your ideas to life, and the satisfaction of seeing your campaigns turn into thousands of finish-line smiles.
