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

01

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.

Timing is based on behavioral research: the "elevation" response peaks immediately after meaningful experiences.
02

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.

Customize the message, image, and tip amounts to match your brand and community.
03

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.

Tips from events in different cities all flow to the same account automatically.

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.
