At RunSignup, we believe in continuous improvement. That means 2,000+ software releases each year bringing new features and upgraded technology options. While that’s great for events, we know it can be a challenge to keep up with every new release! To help, we’re picking just the biggest updates each month and sharing them here. Can’t read everything? Just read the July 2026 Top Highlights!
July 2026 Top 5 Highlights
1. RunSignup Q2 2026 Update
Transaction volume is up 17%, market share is approaching 60%, and AI-powered development is ahead of plan — dive into the Q2 2026 Update for a full look at where RunSignup stands heading into the second half of the year.
2. RunSignup Websites: The Single Source of Truth
Most events maintain a standalone website, a separate registration page, and now an AI chatbot — that’s three places where information can go out of sync. Learn why RunSignup’s integrated approach eliminates the problem entirely.
3. AI Powered Contact Us Form for Websites
The first product built on RunSignup’s new AI Infrastructure is here — an AI-powered Contact Us form that pulls real-time race data directly from your RunSignup platform to give participants accurate, instant answers while keeping spam out of your inbox.
4. Timers, Keep Your Races: Leveling Up Is No Longer Optional
Races don’t leave because of bad timing — they leave because a competitor made a more compelling case and the relationship wasn’t strong enough to hold. Part 1 of a new series for timers on what it takes to stay competitive and keep the races you’ve earned.
5. From 200 to 894 Participants: How the 24 Hours of Stratton Raised $566K
See how the Stratton Community Foundation transformed a small Vermont fundraiser into a multi-day endurance event that has raised over half a million dollars for families experiencing generational poverty in Southern Vermont.
Bonus: Your July RunSignup Videos
This summer, RunSignup hosted RunSignup University at St. Paul College in Minnesota — bringing together race directors, timers, and industry pros for two days of learning and community. We took the opportunity to ask attendees a few questions, and the answers did not disappoint.
