Hosting an Event for 25,000 of your Closest Friends:
Best and Worst Case Scenarios
Speaker: Patrice Matamoros, Race Director,
Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon
(Women’s Business Leaders Breakfast)
The journey began 5 years ago to bring back the Pittsburgh Marathon
and Patrice quickly learned that if you announce a race, “they will
come!” Runners descended upon an event that began with 0 staff and
0 volunteers! A select few had invested time in the success of this
event, and through dedication and prior planning the Pittsburgh
Marathon is now an event with 11 full time staff, 3 part-time staff,
10 interns, 4,000 volunteers and 30,000 runners.
The impact of the Marathon is often underestimated–by managing
26.2 City miles, the race involves 240 police officers, 26
ambulance units, 200 security guards, a bomb squad, Homeland
Security, and a full crisis communications team. Additionally,
Patrice manages a staff who work year round securing sponsors,
planning around city changes, and coordinating with over 60
churches–and that is just is the tip of the iceberg.
Patrice will talk about this “Marathon Reality Show” and show
the staff challenges behind it as they deal, endure and
help make this the best day of their runners’ lives.
Date: March 8, 2013
Time: 7:30 - 9:00 a.m.
Place: James Laughlin Music Hall, Chatham University, Shadyside
Host: The Center for Women’s Entrepreneurship at Chatham University
