The Challenge

Desert Ultra 100 was a single-distance 100-mile ultramarathon with a loyal but niche following. The race director wanted to grow the event by adding 50K and 50-mile distances, but managing multiple race categories, different start times, and varied aid station logistics on a single registration platform seemed overwhelming.

How EnduranceFinder Helped

EnduranceFinder's ticket category and upsell tools let the race director create three distinct distance options with unique pricing, cutoff times, and gear requirements. Smart upsells offered add-ons like drop bags, crew passes, and post-race meals. Runners who initially registered for the 50K received targeted emails about upgrading to longer distances.

From drop bags, crew passes, and meal add-ons
I was running a single 100-miler with 80 runners. Now I have three distances and over 175 athletes. EnduranceFinder's upsell tools mean every runner customizes their experience — and our revenue per athlete has doubled.
