James and Shelly Harris, creators of RaceJoy and long-time RunSignup employees, recently hosted their inaugural race: The Firecracker 5K Festival at Chickasaw Point. With years of race experience from multiple perspectives, this was our first time managing the entire process. As long-time employees at RunSignup, our familiarity with RunSignup’s tools allowed us to bring a big-event experience to our community, utilizing features that most first-time organizers might overlook. We thought we’d share our perspective on putting on a first time race with a focus on sponsorships. As many know, registration revenue tends to just cover the cost of producing the event.

Timers encounter all sorts of issues that come from all angles – whether it be user error, technology not working correctly, or inclement weather. Hang around some timers, and you will be sure to hear some interesting stories of how they got themselves out of a jam.
One such story comes from Jason Chance, owner of TCR Event Management/Revolution3. Jason recently shared his personal experience dealing with a race registration scenario where essential details were missing; the participants’ dates of birth (DOB) and gender. These details are required to provide official scored results, particularly for age-group and gender-specific awards.

We just completed the 2024 Winter Timer Tour where our EventDay team traveled to four cities to meet with nearby timers. We took the opportunity to give an updated on our RaceDay Suite of timer technology, show product demos, answer specific product questions, and get feedback for our development team. In addition, we shined the spotlight on those timers in attendance who completed all four RunSignup timer certifications and announced the 2024 Alan Jones Timer of the Year award winner, Adam Shelton with Start2Finish. Special thanks to all of you who braved the weather conditions and joined us. It was so great to be able to see you in person!

In a recent webinar we covered how to use RunSignup’s free RaceDay CheckIn app’s label printing feature. This feature helps to streamline packet pickup and reduce potential confusion.
