The Margaritaville Run Series is a fun, lifestyle-focused running event that ties into the laid-back, tropical atmosphere associated with Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville brand. The series features 5K and 10K runs that are designed to offer participants both a fitness challenge and a festive experience, blending athletic competition with Margaritaville’s signature relaxed, island-inspired vibe. Beyond the race itself, the event includes pre- and post-race festivities, with Margaritaville-themed parties, food, drinks, and entertainment. The festive atmosphere and laid-back approach appeal to both serious runners and casual participants.

• Partner with the resort staff and local chambers of commerce to promote the event and attract new participants. Collaborate with local sponsors and exhibitors on activations, ensuring delivery meets their standards and contractual agreements.
