Runners pay by MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or card. Airtel Money entries clear within about a day and a half, and card entries the next day.

Can I offer several distances?

Yes. Offer as many ticket types as you need, each with its own price and number of places, for example a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon.

Can I collect shirt sizes?

Yes. Collect shirt sizes at registration, and offer shirt colours as well, then see each runner's size in your list.

How do I check runners in on race day?

Every ticket has a QR code. Scan it with the Laces app to confirm it's paid and check people in, and invite your team to scan with you.

Your first withdrawal is free. In Uganda, MTN mobile money entries are available to withdraw as soon as the payment is confirmed, any day of the week. See the pricing page for how withdrawals work after that.
