Can I collect medical notes and emergency contacts?

Yes. Ask your own questions at registration (medical notes, emergency contacts, anything you need), with the answers in your list.

Can I ask for an athlete's age group?

Yes. Set up a ticket type for each category and ask for age group at registration.

How does check-in and kit collection work?

Every ticket has a QR code. Scan it with the Laces app to confirm it's paid and check people in. The same scan works at kit collection.

What does it cost to put my race on Laces?

Free for organizers. The per-entry fee is added at checkout and paid by the participant.

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.

For triathlons, swims & obstacle races

Everything you need to take entries, organise every discipline, and run a smooth race day.

Q: Do athletes need an account?

No. Athletes register and pay from a link: no app to install, no account to create.

Many disciplines, one entry flow. Give each discipline or distance its own ticket type, collect what you need from every athlete, and check them in with a scan.
