Streamlining Operations for Timers and Race Directors

Each component of RunSignup’s RaceDay Real-Time technology serves a critical role in modern race operations. The RaceDay CheckIn app eliminates pre-race packet pickup lines through dynamic bib assignment, saving hours of work for race organizers and timers. RaceDay Scoring and The Race Director provide professional-grade scoring tools that handle everything from simple 5Ks to complex multi-day ultra events with real-time splits, automated data checks, and seamless results publishing.

Enhancing the Participant Experience

For participants and spectators, RaceJoy delivers real-time progress tracking through GPS technology and chip-based algorithms, sending personalized progress alerts and positional map tracking that keep supporters engaged throughout the race. The platform’s interactive features allow spectators and organizers to send cheers directly to runners’ phones, creating moments of encouragement when they’re needed most.

RunSignup’s free photo platform uses AI-powered tagging to automatically match photos with participants within seconds of upload, making race memories instantly accessible and shareable. In addition, the RaceDay Timer Tools mobile system allows timers and organizers to easily capture and stream high-quality photos directly to the RunSignup results platform for viewing with results.

A Decade of Innovation

As detailed in RunSignup’s recent RaceDay History blog post, the company has invested consistently in race day technology since 2012. This commitment includes bringing Roger Bradshaw and The Race Director into the RunSignup family in 2015, along with RaceJoy founder James Harris. The team released RaceDay Scoring V5 in 2025, achieving their goal of creating the best modern scoring product in the market.

“RunSignup has become the clear choice for RaceDay timer technology through our deep understanding of the need to partner with timers, who are the true backbone of the endurance community,” said Bob Bickel, Founder and CEO of RunSIgnup. “These 2025 statistics reflect not just technology adoption, but millions of enhanced experiences for participants, spectators, race directors, and timing professionals.”

The company continues its aggressive investment in race day technology with plans for RaceDay Scoring V6, next-generation Results platform features, including AI chat capabilities, and enhanced Mobile Timing app functionality in 2026.
