Unique Registration

Sit back and relax.
Lots of companies say they make a custom registration page but let's face it, sticking your race logo on their site is not quite as unique as you'd hoped right? Well, we design it to look and feel like your race.

We get it, Life's Busy
You're too swamped to create your own registration page's You have a job, family and your own running around to do. You've got a race to organize for Pete's sake! Your event will look professional and custom made with a little collaboration on your end and a lot of hard work on ours.

• Sponsor logos embedded with links on the registration page & confirmation emails - Great for local sponsors' sites.
• Want a beach theme? No problem!
• Decide it should look like your website? You got it.
• The font needs to match the color of the sponsors' logo? We do that.
• Embed a movie? Go grab the popcorn.
• Want a full search engine friendly event branded elitefeats' domain name but also want to get something short and sweet on a flyer? We do short links and long links so you can have both!
• Not to mention; Promo Codes, Team signups, Donations & Full Social Media Integration.

Event Marketing & Event Growth

Unlike other timing companies we cost much less than what we charge.

It all starts with getting word out about your event. With elitefeats our marketing is driven to increase participants, so we offset our timing costs from the additional registrations: win-win!

In just the last year our marketing has generated tens of thousands of dollars in registrations and donations for events and here is how:

• We setup custom event branded Facebook event pages and co-host with your event staff so they target people associated with the cause while we attract local runners.
• We include your event on sponsored Facebook ads targeting market segmented users so a little money can go a long way!
• We provide custom made email blasts sent to your list of past participants and our following of runners who race in your area. Our marketing team creates emails that avoid spam filters, go out at the right time of day/week and with subject lines/content that don't put people to sleep.

Want to add in a sponsor logo to any of the marketing campaigns? No problem!

Our marketing team is effective through targeting cut offs on t shirts/swag, price increases in registration and registration cut off dates. We want to talk to you about a custom marketing plan that will work for your event, when works best for you?

Customized Race Swag

Why deal with more vendors?

Bibs are complimentary.

No need to be pestered with designing them yourself - pretty sure you have enough on your plate already. Send us your logos and our team will get a mock up to you ASAP. We work with you to only print as many as you need for your event but if you have a record turnout, no worries! Our team comes prepared with extra bibs to handle that happy problem of extra runners.

Need shirts and don't want to deal with the hassle of shopping around for the best price/quality? Ask us for a quote! We work with a number of vendors to get your athletic apparel on time, in style and under budget.

Our reputable network of screen printers insure you get the best price and whether it is a hoodie, a tech t or classic cotton we make sure you get the best quality too.

Industry Leading Timing Equipment & Scoring Software

You're working with the pros

We provide reliable event timing by utilizing the best scoring software along with German engineered and manufactured hardware.

With our electronic race timing system we guarantee superior detection rates allowing for fluid, fast and live results.

Our disposable bibs are outfitted with SmartTrac tags, the same trusted brand used internationally for road races and other major endurance events such as the Boston Marathon. Our timing software is the trusted brand for 1,000's of events yearly and is sanctioned by the NCAA for scoring College XC Meets.

And the award goes to ...

Perhaps you've got a speedy contingent or maybe you have a unique award ceremony.

Want to score the fastest locals or have a Wheelchair division? Multiple distances? Got Relays? Just keep us in the loop. We build your race days before the event so that we're ready to roll Day-Of. Your awards ceremony will go off without a hitch so you can hand out those awesome awards!

While your participants are waiting for the awards ceremony to start they can check out the online results platform or maybe they've gotten their personal results via text message/email.

Live Results Platform

The event doesn't end at the finish line.

We get it, time counts during the race and when waiting for results.

So, faster than we can print them they are already texted, emailed + posted online. Runners can grab their smart phones, check a text or email – even go to our website and compare their results to their rivals!

Like that kind of speed?

Finish line photos, watermarked with your sponsor/event logos, are up within hours of the event. They can even be from multiple photographers so you don't miss a shot. Every finisher can also watch a video within seconds of their own finish!

Keep the event, and its' cause, going with your participants sharing the pictures when they get home. Did we mention that they can share their results to Facebook at the event with our live results too? You might say we are a results driven company and if that is what you are looking for then let's talk.

Free Photos & Video

We provide that extra exposure.

We make sure your participant gets their finish line photos and video.

Finish line photos, watermarked with your sponsor/event logos, are up within hours of the event and can even be from multiple photographers. A finish line video is synced to each finisher's time within one business day too.
