Meet Website V2
Website V2 is the default website for every new race created on RunSignup. When you use the Race Wizard to set up your race, your website is automatically built on V2 — ready to customize from day one, no coding needed.
V2 is where all new website features are built. AI Chatbot, live data components, the centralized image gallery, and the AI writing assistant are all V2-native.
What About Existing Races using Website V1? This change applies to new races going forward — nothing breaks for existing races still using Legacy Websites. Here’s what to expect:
- Website V1 races stay on V1. No content is moved, no settings change, and nothing is migrated automatically. Website V1 races stay exactly as they are.
- V1 renewals stay on V1. When you renew for a future race, your existing content and settings preserved exactly as they are.
- Copying a race preserves its website version. When you copy a V1 race, the copy is V1. When you copy a V2 race, the copy is V2. Copying forward doesn’t pull anything into the V2 default just because V2 is now the wizard default.
- Switching to V2 is your choice. If you want to move an existing race to V2, you can — but it’s not required, and we don’t migrate content automatically because we don’t want to risk rearranging what you’ve already built.
If you’re setting up a race for the first time, you’re already on Website V2.
Key Features for Websites
Branded for You
From your logo to custom color schemes to featured images that represent your race every website can be easily updated to match your branding (not ours). Then, take it to the next level with your own custom domain or subdomain.
Unlimited Pages
It’s not just a registration page – it’s a full website that you can build out with key event details and more information about your organization. RunSignup makes it simple to add pages and create dynamic menus with submenu items.
Easy Website Builder
Creating and customizing your race website is easier than ever. The point-and-click Website Builder allows you to quickly add and edit content, rearrange pages, and showcase key information like results, photos, and sponsors in real time. No coding required!
Dynamic Data
Your website stays current automatically. Display live price increases, registration counts, donation thermometers, countdown clocks, results, leaderboards, photo galleries, sponsor logos, and more — all synced directly from your race dashboard without manual updates.
AI Chatbot
Turn on an AI customer service assistant trained on your race website content. Participants get instant answers to questions about parking, course details, and more — without sending you an email. Over 1,300 races are already using it to reduce their customer service volume.
