The RunSignUp platform is fundamentally built for races and running clubs. It allows us to focus on the particular needs of the running and triathlon community.

Does it make sense for your race to charge a smaller fee for the entry and then require the purchase of an Add-On? For example, you could have a race fee of $20 and then a T-Shirt fee of $15 and a Jacket Fee of $50 – with each registrant required to purchase either the […]

We released a new and improved version of Event-Event transfer this week. This was based on feedback from race directors and runners, and we figured out some ways to make it even simpler for runners and more powerful for race directors. Races can enable Event-Event transfer in the Participant Management section of the Dashboard. When […]
