Today we are releasing our solution for Corporate Team Race/Walks. We have had the benefit of several large Run/Walks giving us guidance on their requirements. We will thank those folks publicly when they go live with their races (but we have to release the software before they can put their races live).
Corporate Team Races are those events where organizations will help promote and fund their employees and families to participate. Many times these events are done around Wellness or Health campaigns. These races are typically much different than a normal race where runners sign up on their own. In these races, some organizations may want to join at a sponsor level and receive X number of free entries, some will want to pay for 10 or 25 or 500 employees. Some will want to pay for employees and their families. Some races will accept checks or provide invoices to the teams either before or after.
In short, organizing all of this is complex. And the Online registration systems like Active.com simply do not do a very good job of it. We talked with at least one race director who does it all by hand with trading Excel spreadsheets back and forth for a 2,000 person race.
