Released 7 Oct 2026. Improved. Platform: Web, App. For: organizers, participants.

Organizers can now mark questions such as gender and age group as optional when they set up an event in the Laces app.

On the registration form, optional questions show a "No answer" choice. Participants register faster when they only answer what the organizer really needs.
