All of Race Entry’s tools are available to race directors at no cost. The company covers credit card and merchant fees with its 4.97% + $1.25 fee per registration. Most races pass this fee to their participants, though it is possible for races to cover these fees instead. Race Entry’s registration pages offer a simple two-page pathway.

Adding Race Entry to our event changed everything. Our runners have loved the ease of registration, and as the Admin of our account I appreciate the updates and available options for pulling information. > > **Cons**: The absolute ONLY thing that I was frustrated with (and it was probably just something that I didn't know) was that when I changed the picture on my Marketing page to our logo, it made the background difficult to see/read. > > I LOVED working with Race Entry. My rep was always eager to help, quick to respond and very encouraging. Our race doubled in size when we added Race Entry. ----- ### "\[sensitive content hidden\] at RaceEntry has top notch customer service (rate him 12 out of 10)" — 5.0/5 > **Laura** | *27 February 2024* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Even someone like myself that isn’t very tech savvy can navigate through and figure out how to set up my various registration sites. If I’m not sure how to do something; \[sensitive content hidden\] is always there to help. He even answered an emergency call from me on Father’s Day from the top of a mountain when I accidentally did something that shut down my registration. > > **Cons**: What’s not to like?\! If I have to pick something, it is hard to edit pricing. > > The system is easy to use and \[sensitive content hidden\] is a wonderful rep for Race Entry ----- ### "Race Entry ease of use" — 5.0/5 > **Derek** | *4 September 2018* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Race Entry is very easy to use. It is extremely easy to use year over year, I love the fact that i can just copy last years race entry, registration and marketing pages and just update them to this years information. The graphs that they have that show timelines from previous years of when people signed up are very helpful in our e-mail marketing campaigns. > > **Cons**: It was not as intuitive the first year i used it, there were too many options that were not spelled out clearly, but after just a little practice it became very easy to use. I am glad that I had a Sales/Customer Service person who walked me though all the features the first year. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/63725/race-entry?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/63725/race-entry) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
