Why Stair Climb Organizers Choose RunSignup

Stair climb organizers juggle building access, wave times, fundraisers, and charity partners, often with a separate tool for each. RunSignup puts registration, fundraising, and event day in one account.

Registration and Fundraising in One Platform

Fundraising pages are created automatically when climbers register, and donations happen at checkout instead of on an outside site.

Wave Control for Narrow Stairwells

Assign start times, cap each wave, and let climbers pick their slot, so the stairwell never gets crowded.

Free Technology, No Fees

Websites, email, and RaceDay tools are free. You can give staff, volunteers, and charity partners access without any fees.

Event Day Data That Syncs Live

The RaceDay CheckIn App shows fundraising progress at check-in, so your team knows who still needs to hit their minimum before they climb.
