Your data, carried forward
Free for race directors. Runners pay a small service fee at checkout, and you keep the full price you set.
See pricingQuestions directors ask us.
How much does Run This cost?
About 5% + $1 per registration, card processing included. It is paid by the registrant and built into the price they see, so your event nets exactly the price you set. Free events are completely free, donations cost less, and there are no setup, monthly, or platform fees. See full pricing →
How do payouts work?
Run This never holds your money. Payments route through Stripe straight into your event's own payout account and reach your bank once they finish settling, typically a couple of business days. You pick the method per event: a simple bank payout, where you complete one secure identity and bank form and never leave Run This, or connect your organization's own Stripe account if you'd rather have that relationship directly. One payout account can back every race you put on.
Who can see the money side of my event?
Only the event's payments manager, plus Run This admins. Co-directors can build the event, manage registrations, and run race day without ever seeing your payout setup or banking details. You can hand the payments manager role to another director whenever you need to.
Is there really a native app?
Yes, one app on iOS and Android, free on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Your race dashboard is built in, so you can manage your race from your phone. Your runners use the same app to register, follow friends, get your announcements, and keep every result on their profile, all year, between races.
Can I keep my timing company?
Absolutely. Timing companies are partners on Run This. Assign yours to the race and they get their own dashboard, live registrations, bibs, and check-in status from our Timer API, and a direct RACE RESULT 14 connection, so there are no last-minute spreadsheet exports.
We don't have a timing company. Can we time the race ourselves?
Yes. The Run This Stopwatch runs on any phone with nothing to install. Your volunteers enter the race's code, several phones share one clock, waves and heats are handled, and finishes go straight into your race results.
What about refunds and people switching distances?
Both are handled in your dashboard. Refund any amount up to what a registrant paid, with or without releasing their spot, or cancel a registration without refunding. If you allow transfers, athletes move themselves between distances, paying any price difference plus whatever transfer fee you set.
Can I show my course?
Yes. Course Studio is built in. Draw your route and it snaps to real roads and trails, or import a GPX file. It calculates distance and elevation, marks aid stations and mile markers, plays a fly-through preview of the course, and embeds on your own website.
I'm on another platform. Can I switch?
Yes. Export from your current platform and we import it, past participants and years of history included, so you are not starting from scratch. There is no contract.
What do I need on race morning?
A phone and a connection. Volunteers check runners in with Race Check In by scanning their QR pass or searching by name, and see each person's giveaway and shirt size. Assign bibs on the spot and add walk-ups yourself. Your timing company sees every check-in as it happens.
Is there a contract or commitment?
No long-term contract and no lock-in. Create your race and go. Free events cost nothing.
