The officials:
Set up and measure out the course
Time the runners
Fire the starting gun
Make sure runners go the right way on the trails
Usher runners the right way after the race
In a chip-timed race: take off chips
Hold a coaches' meeting
In a numbered race: Hand out numbers, collect number stubs.
Most officials will just be course marshals, those who cheer on the runners and make sure they go the right way.
Hope this helped, and that I didn't forget anything!!

What is the Order of a three day Horse Event?
The order of events in a competition depends on the format and length of the competition. Generally speaking in a one-day horse trial, dressage comes first, followed by showjumping, and finally cross-country. Sometimes the showjumping and cross-country are switched. In a modern short-format three-day event, the first official part is the jog. This is followed by the dressage competition, then the cross-country, and finally showjump, before the awards ceremony. The old long-format event is similar, although, of course, with more elements. First there is the initial jog, then dressage, then roads & tracks, then steeplechase, followed by a longer roads and tracks phase, leading immediately into cross country. Finally, the showjumping phase, followed by the awards.
