Registration, timing, and photos on one platform. Runners sign up on their phone in 60 seconds. Live results the moment they cross. Photos that find them automatically by bib. One login across all of it — for directors and runners alike.
Pick your path — we'll get you to the right place.
For runners: sign up for any race in under two minutes. Mobile-first checkout, save your info for next time, instant confirmation. No clunky forms, no surprise fees — what you see is what you pay.
For directors: you control the fields, the pricing, and the flow. Every piece of participant data belongs to you — export your full roster as a CSV anytime with one click.
Race day check-in should take seconds, not create a backup that frustrates your runners before they've even started. Race Ascend's check-in tools are built for speed.
Look up any runner by name or scan their QR code. Emergency contact info is one tap away. On-site registration handles late sign-ups without slowing down the line.
Results post live as runners finish. Age group rankings calculate automatically. Shareable results pages go out the same day.
Race Ascend includes a complete race-day timing console at no extra cost — browser-based, ready out of the box. Capture finishers by keypad, or feed in detections from your RFID reader through our timing API.
Manage multiple waves with independent gun times. Push live results to your event page the instant a runner crosses. Same login as registration, same dashboard, no separate app.
Bring your own hardware. Our timing API integrates with standard RFID readers in minutes — keep the gear you trust, just point it at our endpoint and get instant cloud results.
Finding your race photos shouldn't mean scrolling through hundreds of strangers. Photographers upload to the gallery, our bib recognition system tags photos to runners automatically, and you find yours by typing your bib or your name.
Personalized highlight reels are part of the platform — a cinematic edit of your race, start line through finish, set to music and ready to share.
What makes it work isn't any single feature — it's that all of it lives on the same platform as registration and timing. One login, one place for everything. No waiting on a separate photo company, no stitching tools together.
Every finish gets a permanent home. Your Ascend Hub is your private dashboard — race history, finisher certificates, Ascend Index grade, trophy case, photo galleries, and AI-generated race recaps for every race you run.
Race Ascend's Ascend Index grades every finish on a 0–100 scale relative to the day's field. See your trend across the season, set distance PRs, and chase next-tier trophies.
Build your Ascend Crew — runners you cheer on. Sync finishes to Strava with one click. Claim historical results from races that predate the platform.
Race Ascend charges $0.99 per registrant plus standard Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30). Most platforms charge $1 per cart plus 5–6% on top, so on a typical $30 entry you cap a predictable line item instead of paying an open-ended percentage that scales with your entry fees.
The bigger story isn't the per-registrant difference — it's the platform. The timing console is included. So is the photo gallery with automatic bib tagging, highlight reels, and fulfillment for prints, canvases, and merch. Tools that normally come from three or four separate vendors.
Put it together and that's money — and energy — you can put back into the race itself. Better swag, bigger aid stations, lower entry fees. The runners feel the difference.
No setup cost, no monthly fees to get started.
Standard Stripe processing fees (2.9% + $0.30) apply and can optionally be passed to participants.
The endurance industry has been a patchwork — one vendor for registration, another for timing, a third for photos, separate logins and exports for each. Race Ascend brings registration, timing, and photos onto a single platform with one login across all of them.
