A website is the core communications tool events have with their participants. RunSignup has provided a free full featured website capability for nearly a decade, including content management, hosting, built-in analytics and integrated data components like results, find a participant, fundraiser pages, donation goal thermometers. The next generation Website V2 has been architected over several years using the same technology and codebase as TicketSignup and the new RunSignup Membership offering. This cross-product approach to development means all customers can benefit from technology upgrades simultaneously.

“Our customers find that having a single event site hosted on RunSignup makes website updates easier and provides a single source of truth for participants. Additionally, RunSignup is more reliable than most websites. RunSignup race websites have been down a total of 4 minutes since 2015 – can your WordPress site say the same?,” asked Bob Bickel, RunSignup Founder.

The new Race Website V2 includes the new integrated Image Gallery that is shared with Email V2. This means all customer images are shared across both their race website and emails for common branding and reuse. Additionally Websites V2 includes the new website component for Strava Routes and Clubs, providing races with advanced course maps with features like a flyover of your race course.
