It is characteristic of the current period that the importance of risk and the need to address it the importance of risk is becoming increasingly serious, whether from the point of view of the environment or individual processes in the organization. With increasing number of risks that organizations are facing, its complexity and interdependence are increasing as well. For a more effective assessment of process risks, it is possible to apply the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method, which has application not only in the business sphere, but also in various organizations of public administration or self-government, sports and cultural organizations. The essence of this article is a suggestion to modify the procedure of FMEA method application for the conditions of organizing running events and assessment of the most severe risks in organizing the Rajec marathon, in order to increase the safety and quality of the event. The application of the FMEA method brings increased value to the process, so that responsible managers can assess possible human errors, propose measures to reduce risks and serve as a source of knowledge and lessons for the future implementation of processes. The benefit of the suggested solution is to facilitate the work of responsible employees in assessing the risks of processes in the field of organizing sports events, which will improve the quality and increase the safety of the overall process.
