Organize and manage
running events
with ease using Laces
The simplest way for your team to manage race registrations, payments and participants.
Why this would work for you
Your race is more than registrations
You are juggling all of these at once, and probably across a form, a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp thread and a printed manifest.
- Tracking your registrations
- Monitoring your payments
- Managing your participant records
- Verifying your runners and kit collection
- Coordinating your staff
- Handling your withdrawals and reporting
One platform, one source of truth
Laces puts all of it in one place, so your committee stops chasing admin and spends its time on the race itself.
You would not be our first
We are already doing this for organizers like you
Success story
Silent Runs
A growing running community that runs registrations and participant management on Laces, from sign-up through to kit collection on the day. Ask them how it went; we are happy to introduce you.
Laces at a glance
These are live platform figures, not projections. We would rather show you a small number we can defend than a big one you should not believe.
How it works
You create your race, then share one link
Step 01
Create your race
- Set your race up in minutes
- Set your own categories
- Configure your kit options
- Add your event details
- Invite your team members
- Publish when you are ready
Step 02
Share your registration link
The moment you publish, you get a short registration link and a QR code, ready for wherever your runners already are.
Step 03
Your registrations and payments arrive on their own
Your runners register and pay online, and every successful registration emails both sides for you, nothing to type, no screenshots to check, no entry waiting on your approval.
Your runner receives
- Their registration confirmation
- Their payment receipt
- Their QR ticket and your event details
You receive
- You get an instant email notification
- Your participant count updates
- Your revenue metrics update
- Your balance updates, ready to withdraw
Step 04
You watch it all in real time
Step 05
You get your money instantly
No settlement wait and no payout cycle. Every registration is credited to your balance the moment the payment is confirmed, and it is yours to withdraw straight away, any day of the week, weekends included. That is how your t-shirts, medals, water and venue deposits get paid on time.
Your first withdrawal is completely free. After that only the payment provider’s transfer charge applies, Laces adds no margin.
Step 06
Your race day, verified
Your staff can
- Scan your participants’ tickets
- Confirm authenticity instantly
- Prevent duplicate redemptions
- Track your kit collection item by item
Perfect for
- Bib collection
- Race kit distribution
- Event check-in
- Your venue with no signal: it works offline
