We take pride in our our continual feature development, but it is still really overwhelming to hear our customers talk about how features have changed their workload and driven their businesses. The most amazing thing? Most of these customers also told us that they know they are only using a small percentage of the available features. Just […]

We have added the ability to do a quick change of events when a person is checking in on race day on the check-in screen. This makes it simple to switch a person from the 10K to the 5K for example. This also allows you to decide whether to issue a new bib number or […]
When you import participant information from another data source via a spreadsheet, there is always the issue of data compatibility. For example the spreadsheet may have the T-Shirt as a “L” and your race has been set up with “Large”. On import, RunSignUp allows you to match fields very easily as shown at the right. […]
As part of our Reporting 2.0, we have updated the Giveaway report to show the number of males and females ordering each type of Giveaway. Note you still need to list Women’s and Men’s shirts as separate items since some men will order women’s shirts and vice-versa. Do NOT use this for automatically assuming that […]

We will be releasing all […]

As always, we report any availability issues in the spirit of transparency. We did a database migration early this morning to better support International customers. The migration took 3 minutes and 29 seconds to complete. During this time, the site functioned fully with two caveats. If someone was trying to check out at that time, […]
