The numbers don’t tell the whole story though – it’s our technology that drives our business, and we delivered […]
While Ron Synup may have gone unnoticed by many RunSignup customers over the years, he’s been a big part of the growth of this little company. With the new logo, Ron has been officially retired, and we wanted to take the opportunity to commemorate his tenure. Ron was introduced by Bob’s wife, Marlise. You first […]

Knock on wood, but it was the third year in a row with 100% uptime – zero downtime. We actually just completed a migration to the newest version of PHP that as you can see from the graph below saved about 15-20 milliseconds: We had several highlights from the year on the positive side: Major […]
Amazing how time flies – we are heading into our 10th year! It reminds me of a Bill Gates quote: “Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.” We never thought we would be processing over $210 Million of money for races and non-profits […]

We have revamped the final step of the Race Wizard to be focused on giving races the top couple of ways to promote their race automatically. Races that use these features get 1-18% of their participants from just these three actions. There are three activities you can turn on with a simple switch: Incomplete Registration […]
Over the past year, we have been collecting stats on what happens to races over 500 people that use our platform from year to year. For example, in November, 2018, we looked at the 290 races over 500 that used RunSignUp races that occurred in November 2017 to see what happened to them this year. […]

We have provided a number of reports to help with this over the years, but they were never customizable and not all in one place – until this coming week! […]
You can now set up private events that do not display on your race page or event selection page. This is a nice option for races that want to offer private registration to a certain group of people and do not want the event display anywhere during “general” registration. Here are the steps you can […]
Is that a new logo??? We talk a lot about Continuous Improvement. Our product reflects that with 1,500+ updates per year. We continue to offer our customers more and more. We continue to hire new people. More and more races continue to use us (thank you!). In short, lots of change! We recently went thru […]
UPDATE: These positions have been filled. The more we develop, the more interesting projects we find! We are looking for two more 10X developers to join our team and help us bring the art of software to our endurance and non-profit customers. The ideal candidate will be someone who loves to code and produce software […]
As we reported in our Thanksgiving Stats blog, we handled a record number of Thanksgiving Day registrations this year – 423,306 compared to 365,618 in 2017. Some of that growth is because we are growing as a company, adding 68 races, and some of that can be attributed to the national increase in Turkey Trot […]
