RaceJoy Timer Certification
RaceJoy is RunSignup’s participant tracking and race day mobile app. It is available exclusively through RaceJoy Certified Timers and timers receive a special pricing arrangement so they can offer RaceJoy as an additional service and have another revenue stream for their timing business. This session dives deep into map building and backend setup of RaceJoy along with additional customization options.
Note: If you would like to be certified in RaceJoy, you need to email info@racejoy.com and request access to the course map.
RunSignup Timer Certification
The purpose of this course is to provide timers with training on RunSignup’s registration and marketing tools so that timers can help events with their registration setup and guide them on ways to increase registration numbers. The session also touches on fundraising tools – a key element to most endurance events – and provides an introduction to RunSignup’s adjacent ticket solution. Timers receive a special RunSignup Certified Timer badge and certification status.
