May 14, 2026

Websites V2, RunSignup’s next-generation race website is now the starting point for every new event on RunSignup

Moorestown, NJ (5/14/2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – RunSignup, the leading registration and technology provider for endurance events in the US, announces a major website update for races on the platform. Website V2, the next-generation race website first introduced as an option in 2024, is now the default website experience for all new races created in the RunSignup Race Wizard. This means every race director creating a new race on RunSignup will be set up with a modern, flexible website platform from day one.

Since its introduction, Website V2 has been steadily adopted across the RunSignup platform because of its improved ease of use and array of design options. In addition to an easy drag-and-drop website builder for website management, Website V2 offers more custom branding and a wide range of data-driven components. Now, there’s nothing for new races to enable – they can access Website V2 instantly.

“This is a significant step in our effort to make professional race websites accessible to all races,” said Bob Bickel, RunSignup Founder and CEO. “Your race website is how people find your event, how you inspire people to sign up, and how you communicate with your community. We know how important they are – that’s why we want every race to have access to an SEO-optimized, mobile-responsive race website that’s truly all theirs.”

What Website V2 Offers

Website V2 includes a range of upgraded capabilities for race websites. These include:

• A free, AI-powered chatbot to manage customer questions
• A centralized image gallery to power images across the site
• Data-driven components like leaderboards, participant counts, and countdowns
• Flexible page layouts with multiple column options, customizable color schemes, and a variety of image displays

This announcement is the first in a series of planned website improvements for 2026. In the coming months, RunSignup will release website templates, banner options for slideshows and video, additional layout options for Event Lists, purpose-build components for virtual and hybrid races. As with all RunSignup features, Website V2 is available to race directors at no cost.
