Not a longer feature list. A shorter to-do list.
These are the reasons directors move, and most of them are things you would otherwise pay for separately, or do by hand.
-
Get paid as you go Entry fees land in your own account as people register, not weeks after race day.
-
Solo and team fundraising pages Every runner gets their own page; team totals roll up on their own, with leaderboards and a donor wall.
-
Abandoned cart follow-up See who started registering and never paid, then send a link that picks up where they left off.
-
CRM tools One contact list across every race you run, including the segment that matters: entered last year, not yet this year.
-
Traffic source tracking Which post, ad or partner produced paid entries, not just clicks.
-
Customizable self-service You decide what runners can do alone: transfer, switch distance, update details, cancel.
-
Check-in dashboards Live count, search by name or bib, and progress per distance on one screen.
-
Race day timing Record starts, laps and finishes here, or bring times in from your timer.
-
Volunteer management Roles, public sign-up and assignment emails, without a separate spreadsheet.
-
No special app required It runs in a browser. Your volunteers use the phone already in their pocket.
-
Badges, achievements, PRs and rivalries Personal bests, age-grade scores, shareable finisher cards, and a head-to-head record against the people they always race. Reasons to enter again that have nothing to do with your marketing budget.
-
Race personality features Tag your race for what it actually is: family friendly, scenic, competitive, PR course, destination race, certified course, prize money, or a Western States, UTMB or Hardrock qualifier. Runners filter Browse Races by those tags, so the people who want your kind of race are the ones who find it.
-
Your race, not a registration form Your own page layout, colours, photos, sponsors and domain.
-
Admin team roles Give timing to your timer and comms to your comms person. Everyone sees the part of the job that is theirs and nothing else, set per race, so race-day helpers get access to one event only.
-
Easy to use, simple yet powerful Deep where it counts, and learnable in an afternoon by whoever is helping you this year.

Learn moreEvery race deserves the spotlight.
A first-year 5K and a sold-out ultra get the same tools, the same support and the same place in Browse Races. There is nothing to buy that moves you up the list, and no big-name tier above you. Runners find your race by what it is — trail or road, family friendly, PR course, qualifier — not by who spent the most.
-
No paid placement Nothing you can buy moves you up the list.
-
Found for what it is Runners filter on race personality, not name recognition.
-
Your runners’ details stay put We never sell or share phone numbers or SMS consent for anyone else’s marketing.
-
Same rate, any size 40 runners or 4,000, the rate is the same. No monthly fees, no setup costs.
