High Five Events, producer of the Ascension Seton Austin Marathon and leading endurance events across Texas, will host an Expo Staff Recruitment Session on Monday, December 1, 2025 at 6:30 PM at the High Five Events office in Austin, Texas. The organization is seeking enthusiastic, people-focused individuals to join its 2026 expo team.
Expo staff play a pivotal role in the event experience, welcoming tens of thousands of athletes, families, and supporters who pass through the Ascension Seton Austin Marathon and Spurs Austin International Half expos each year. These fast-paced, high-energy environments are the electric kickoff to event weekend, where runners pick up their packets, grab exclusive swag, and feel the excitement begin. Joining the expo crew means being part of the buzz, helping participants start their journey, and experiencing some of the most thrilling days of the entire year. On top of the excitement, expo staff enjoy exclusive event gear, the chance to meet new friends, and opportunities to connect with industry insiders, sponsors, and vendors.
Ideal candidates are available for the full event window, including weekdays and weekends, and thrive in upbeat, fast-paced settings. They enjoy engaging with participants and are comfortable working in dynamic, high-volume environments.
“Expo staff are at the heart of every event’s energy and success,” said Stacy Keese, co-owner of High Five Events. “We’re looking for individuals who want to contribute to an extraordinary race weekend and help us deliver an exceptional experience for tens of thousands of participants.”
The December 1 recruitment session will provide a behind-the-scenes overview of expo operations, including packet pick-up coordination, merchandise and shirt distribution, participant flow management, volunteer support, and event-day problem solving.
