Top News: Participant CRM Notes

Throughout the last year, we have gradually expanded the CRM capabilities at the core of your RunSignUp participant management, making it easy to view current and previous data about participants from a single participant report. Now, you can also track your interactions with them via Notes, a text field that allows race directors to add internal comments about participants. A race director can see all notes for a participant for all races that they have admin access to, regardless of who wrote the note; they cannot see notes for a participant that were created in a race for which they are not an admin.

Racing with RaceJoy

New RaceJoy Wizard!

The RaceJoy wizard screens have been redesigned to make the process easier and to ensure readability outdoors on RacDay. Using more vibrant, contrasting colors, you can now get RaceDay ready on-site, even on the sunniest of days.

April saw RaceJoy significant usage in long-distance endurance relays, the Hogeye Marathon & Relays, and the Kentucky Derby Festival, but also some issues (and a learning experience) at Glass City.
