Turn Gratitude Into Revenue
When your marathon, trail race, or triathlon ends, the appreciation doesn't have to. EnduranceFinder's Post-Event Tip Jar automatically captures that wave of gratitude — turning feelings into tangible support.
Available on Elevate and Amplify plans
The Challenge
Gratitude Fades Without a Channel
96% of athletes feel genuine appreciation after crossing the finish line. Without a frictionless way to express it, that feeling dissipates.
Physical Donation Bowls
The traditional approach has real limitations in today's cashless world.
- 40%+ of athletes carry no cash at finish lines
- Post-race chaos makes in-person collections impractical
- Donation requests during medal ceremonies feel awkward
- No way to capture post-race gratitude once athletes leave
The EnduranceFinder Way
Automated post-race tipping that captures peak gratitude.
- Automated email arrives 1–2 hours post-event
- Private, pressure-free giving at peak gratitude
- Mobile-friendly with Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards
- Funds auto-deposit via Stripe Connect — zero effort
Zero Effort Setup
How It Works
From race end to funds in your account — fully automated
Race Ends, Timer Starts
Your race concludes. EnduranceFinder automatically schedules a beautifully designed gratitude email to arrive 1–2 hours after athletes finish — precisely when they're reflecting on their achievement and appreciation is at its peak.
Gratitude Email Arrives
Athletes receive a personalized email with your custom message, event imagery, and a mobile-friendly tipping interface. Preset amounts ($5, $10, $20) or custom — one tap to contribute via Stripe.
Funds Auto-Deposit
Tips flow directly to your bank account via Stripe Connect on your regular payout schedule — daily, weekly, or monthly. Clear transaction records in your dashboard make tax prep straightforward.
Who It's For
Built for Race Directors
Any endurance event where athletes cross a finish line grateful
Marathon & Half-Marathon
Runners finish on a high. Post-race tipping captures that finisher's glow before they head home.
Ultra & Trail Races
Multi-day ultras and trail races create deep bonds. Capture that gratitude as athletes recover.
Triathlon Events
Triathletes invest months of training. The 1–2 hour delay lets athletes celebrate before inviting contribution.
Cycling Races & Gran Fondos
Cycling events build powerful community bonds. A gratitude email extends the energy and invites support.
Obstacle Course Races
OCR athletes appreciate the team spirit. The private email approach respects the camaraderie.
Virtual Challenges & Hybrid Events
Works for in-person races and virtual challenges alike.
“The Tip Jar captures something real — the wave of gratitude that follows crossing a finish line. We've seen tips add 12% to our race revenue with zero extra effort. Athletes genuinely want to say thanks when you've organized an amazing experience.”
— Mark Torres, Pacific Coast Endurance
