From now until June 1, you can apply for a position as a race marshal for the 2025 Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix. Applications for the Locals’ Marshal Program are available for experienced marshals and for those who have no experience but are interested in the position.
Why the Locals’ Marshal Program exists
This is the second year for the Locals’ Marshal Program, the first for a U.S. F1 Grand Prix in 2024. The program, which is run with U.S. Race Management (USRM), successfully involved residents in roles in the Grand Prix. Other U.S. Grand Prix have since started similar programs.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix has a massive impact on the city. Public streets that form most of the race circuit are closed to public traffic each night for the race events. Like the special locals-only pricing for race events and other associated activities, the Locals’ Marshal Program is another way to involve residents in the excitement of the Grand Prix.
The LVGP Locals’ Marshal Program
The LVGP and USRM oversee the entire program following the rules and regulations of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA). People accepted by the program will be trained for 600 marshal positions. Specific roles include Flagging and Communications Marshals, Intervention Marshals, Pit Lane and Grid Marshals, and Marshal support.
Marshals must fulfill responsibilities during the entire event from November 19 to 22 and are compensated with value-in-kind goods and or services. In 2024, 524 applicants, including 115 Nevada residents, were accepted into the program from almost 3,200 applicants. Further details and applications for the Locals’ Marshal Program are available from Las Vegas Grand Prix Race Operations.
