Our fall 2021 edition of Making Strides is here! The most noteworthy updates and releases from this past quarter will be sure to “pumpkin spice” things up for you as we enter the autumn season. 

Let’s take a look at what was released during the past few months:

1 – Two new ways to collect signatures for unsigned waivers

We introduced two new features to help you collect signatures for unsigned waivers both before and during your event expo, packet pickup, or participant check-in.

Learn more about what these features are and how you can start collecting waiver signatures quickly and efficiently on site or in advance.

2 – Custom domains

We introduced the ability to host your event page under your very own website URL! There are several benefits of transitioning your event page over to a custom domain. In our article, we covered the perks of custom domains and outlined how you can start using one on Race Roster™.

You can book a custom domain set up call now, or contact organizer@raceroster.com if you have any questions!

3 – Three new challenge types

We introduced three new challenge types, along with the ability to assign awards based off of the questions you ask during registration.

Race Roster

At our core, we are event organizers and athletes serving event organizers and athletes. Race Roster was founded by a group of friends with combined interests in running, technology, and event management. After organizing their own 10K in 2010, it was very apparent that the running industry was in dire need of better technology. Since May of 2012, Race Roster has partnered with over 4,000 organizers to grow, manage and execute on race day!
