In their own words
RunSignup
RunSignup provides registration and event-management tools for endurance events, covering race marketing, fundraising, and race-day work. Participants can sign up through mobile-friendly registration, while organizers manage participants through administrator and self-service options. Each race receives a customizable website and email marketing with unlimited contacts and sends at no charge. Events can collect donations during registration or checkout and create individual or team fundraiser pages. The RaceDay CheckIn App supports event check-in. An open API and Zapier integration connect with other applications, including Salesforce, DonorPerfect, and Mailchimp through Zapier. Event reports can be exported to CSV, Google Sheets, Excel, PDF, Mailchimp, Dropbox, Hy-Tek, Webscorer.com, and Build Bib Labels. RunSignup says its payment platform is PCI Level 1 compliant and that participant data is not sold or shared beyond the event owner or director. Free events have no processing fee for a $0 cart. Paid-event fees are set per cart: 6% plus $1 up to $249.99, 5% plus $1 from $250 to $999.99, and 4% plus $1 at $1,000 or more. Fees may be paid by participants, absorbed by the event, or split evenly. There are no subscriptions, monthly fees, or long-term contracts.
