For race directors

Creating an event

Walk through the create-event flow — what you need to enter, what auto-generates, and what you can change later.

Page styles — Ticket & Overlap

Pick the visual layout for your event page. Two options, each best for a different style of event.

Info sections

The content tabs on your event page — Description plus Schedule, Parking, Awards, FAQ, and anything else runners need.

Sub-events and pricing

Add the distances or categories for your event, set prices or a price schedule, and configure capacity.

Registration questions

Built-in "How did you hear about us?" + Emergency Contact, plus unlimited custom questions scoped to specific sub-events.

Waivers

The built-in liability waiver plus your own — how athletes sign, what's recorded, and what carries over year to year.

Coupon codes

Percent, dollar, or free-entry codes — scope them to distances, cap uses, set expiry, and hand out links that apply the code automatically.

Giveaways & merch

Shirts, mugs, and merch — free or priced, sized or not, with inventory tracked automatically as people claim.

Course Studio

Draw your course maps — snap-to-roads routes per distance, aid stations and markers, elevation profiles, GPX import, and an interactive viewer with playback.

Publishing your event

Run through the go-live checklist and publish your draft so athletes can register.

Adding co-directors

Invite teammates by email or username to help manage an event with you.

Volunteers

Create volunteer roles with capacities, codes, and shift times — people sign up on a public form and you manage the rosters.

Teams

Team sub-events for relays and corporate challenges — invite codes, captains, size and gender rules, a free-agent pool, and team fundraising.

Circles

Public social groups that span every distance — athletes create or join them at registration, and they can double as fundraising teams.

Heats

Split a sub-event into pace-grouped heats (track meets) or staggered start waves (road races), and assign athletes from the roster.

Waiting list

When a sub-event sells out, athletes can join a waitlist. Toggle lives in the Sub-events card; sidebar entry only appears when someone's actually waiting.

Payouts

Per-event payout setup — simple bank-account payouts or your own Stripe account, with a designated payments manager controlling access.

Refunds & cancelling registrations

Give money back, cancel to free the spot, or both — with partial refunds, capacity and bib release, and a clear record for the athlete.

Setting up a fundraiser

Add a donation goal, customize preset amounts, control whether to show the thermometer publicly, and choose what counts toward it.

Sponsors & invoices

Track sponsors, show their logos on your event page and emails, and bill them with a shareable invoice link they can pay online.

Emails & the email builder

Design emails in a drag-and-drop studio, pick your audience, send a test, then send or schedule — with delivery stats on every send.

The event wall & announcements

Run your event's Community Wall, post official announcements athletes can't miss, moderate posts, and take questions directly.

Polls

Ask athletes a question on your event page — single or multi-choice, optional write-ins — and see exactly who answered what.

Advertising your event

Feature your event on the Run This homepage, have us run Meta ads, or email Run This athletes.

Director notifications

Get a push when someone registers, volunteers, or posts — and choose per event exactly what reaches your phone.

Bib assignments

Per-sub-event bib plans with multiple ranges, reserved bibs, 10 assignment rules, CSV import/export, and an idempotent auto-assign sweep.

Race-day check-in

Use the in-app check-in page on race day. Search by name or bib, mark people checked in, optionally scan a QR.

Timing & the stopwatch

Assign a professional timer to your event, or self-time it with the built-in stopwatch — no-login volunteer timing that syncs into Race Results.

Race results

Upload your timer's CSV per distance and heat, choose how each distance is ranked (time, laps, distance, points, or a custom metric), then publish.

Registrations, reports & finance

See everyone who registered, export a CSV, explore demographic charts, and track revenue, fees, coupons, and donations.

Dashboard tools

The little things that make the dashboard fast — ⌘K search, a to-do board with templates, tips, the registrant heatmap, and your event QR.

Postponing & cancelling

Plans changed? Put a clear postponed or cancelled banner on your page, alert everyone committed automatically, and reverse it later.

Race series

Group related races under one banner — a shared public page, bundle discounts and curated packages, series co-directors, and a combined overview.

Renewing year over year

When this year's race is over, renew it for next year — keeping or resetting each piece of the configuration.

Claiming an outside event

Is one of the outside races in our catalog yours? Claim it, pass a quick review, and the page becomes yours to manage.
