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.
