\*\*

**Location:** Cleveland, OH
**Hours:** \~20 hours per week

**Join Our Team!** 

We’re looking for a Social Media Marketing Intern for Spring 2026! If you love running, creativity, and connecting with a vibrant community, this is your chance to help us bring race-day energy online. You’ll create posts, videos, and stories for all our social channels, capture live event moments, and help runners, volunteers, and fans feel the excitement. 20 hours/week, paid, and full of hands-on experience!

 

**About Us:**
We’re a Cleveland-based race management and timing team passionate about bringing runners together — from first-timers to lifelong marathoners. Every event we produce is built around community, connection, and that post-race finish line feeling. We’re looking for a creative and motivated Social Media Intern who can help us share those stories and moments all season long.

 

**Position Overview:**
The Social Media Marketing Intern will help bring the energy of race day to life online. From capturing finish-line smiles to designing countdown posts and recapping events, you’ll be part of the team that connects runners, volunteers, and partners year-round.

\*\*Responsibilities:
\*\*

* Assist in building and managing content across all social platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, X, LinkedIn).
* Create and schedule engaging posts, stories, and short-form videos that reflect the running community’s energy and spirit.
* Capture and edit live content at races — think finish line celebrations, volunteers in action, and race-day vibes.
* Help brainstorm and produce creative series (runner spotlights, training tips, race previews, photo challenges).
* Organize and maintain a library of photo and video content for future use.
* Track engagement and help suggest ideas to boost reach and interaction.
* Collaborate with our team on marketing campaigns, emails, and race promotions.
* Stay up to date on social trends and apply them creatively to our events and community.

\*\*What We’re Looking For:
\*\*

* A current college student (sports management, sports marketing, communications, journalism, or related major).
* Active user of social media with a good sense of what content connects and inspires people.
* Creative, resourceful, and excited to bring ideas to the table.
* Strong writing and visual storytelling skills.
* Experience with Canva, CapCut, or Adobe tools a plus.
* Reliable and organized, with the ability to balance multiple projects.
* A love of running, fitness, or live events is a major bonus (but not required — we’ll make you a fan fast!).

\*\*What You’ll Gain:
\*\*

* Hands-on experience managing social media for large-scale events.
* A creative outlet with the freedom to test ideas and see your work in action.
* Opportunities to attend races, meet the running community, and build your professional portfolio.
* Mentorship and practical insight into sports marketing, events, and storytelling.
