Hard to tell if they're "athletes" in the picture in this thread.

Broadly speaking in terms of job descriptions, it's the job of course marshals to regulate traffic, not race officials. The race official has the job of enforcing the rules of competition, the course marshal enforces the race director's intended regulation of traffic.
Edit: Unless you meant "race official" to broadly mean all enforcement personnel...just when I hear "race official" I think of the USAT-certified officials. While marshals are often volunteers, etc, with no training in the rules of competition.
