Ultra Marathon Registration Software Built for Remote Courses and Long Race Days

Ultra and trail organizers use RunSignup for 50K, 50-mile, 100K, and 100-mile races, multi-day events, relays, and trail race series. Directors can run several distances in one event, each with its own pricing, caps, and custom questions. Race management companies can also host their full calendar of trail events on one account.

Self-serve participant management lets runners handle their own distance transfers, bib transfers, and deferrals within the rules you set. You can allow changes for free or charge a fee to cover administrative costs. That cuts down on the email volume a 9- to 12-month registration window usually brings.

Yes. Unlimited custom questions let you collect pacer and crew details, expected finish times, previous results, and anything else your race requires. You can also collect up to three waivers per event, such as one each for your race, venue, and sponsor, all saved with the registration.

RaceJoy provides continuous GPS tracking for runners carrying their phones, plus SOS alerts, off-course alerts, turn-by-turn directions, and offline maps. Race staff can monitor participants on course in real time. RaceJoy is available through certified timers, and timers can get certified by RunSignup for free.

RunSignup’s registration, website, email, and RaceDay tools are free, with no contracts or subscriptions. The only cost is a processing fee, typically covered by participants: 6% + $1 for carts under $250, with lower fees for more expensive registrations.
