Powered by RunSignup

Why we build every race on RunSignup

RunSignup is the platform most of the endurance industry runs on, and it is what our own events use. Building on one platform we know deeply means faster setup, real support, and registration that connects cleanly to timing and results.

Your race, your account, your money. The RunSignup account is in your name, participant payments go straight to you, and we work inside it as a user you can remove at any time.

Frequently asked questions

Registration questions we get

Who holds the money and the account?

You do. The RunSignup account is in your name and participant payments go directly to you. We work inside it as a user you can add or remove at any time. We never sit between you and your registration revenue. Registration escrow services are available if linking an account is not an option for your event.

Do we have to use RunSignup?

For this service, yes. RunSignup is what we build on, what we support, and what our own events run on. If your race already lives somewhere else, we can still support it, and we are happy to talk through what moving would look like.

Which setup option should we pick?

If you have used RunSignup before, or your event is straightforward and you like being in the settings yourself, start in the Race Wizard and reach out when you get stuck. It is free and we will help. If this is your first race, or your time is worth more than $250, send us the form and we will do the initial build. Both end with the same walkthrough call.

How late can we make changes to the registration page or website?

Any time before race week, and usually during it. Price changes, new tiers, coupon codes, and added distances are normal. The one thing to decide early is your refund and transfer policy, because changing that after people have paid is the change that upsets participants.

Can you take day-of registrations?

Yes. We keep registration open on RunSignup right through race morning, so late entries come in through the same form as everyone else and land in scoring without a spreadsheet. Participants can sign up on their phone. We do not run a separate registration kiosk, and we have not needed one. A sign with a QR code to the registration page at packet pickup will allow participants to register when they are ready.
