The Problem

Your Best Promoters Are Already on the Starting Line

Most platforms ignore the promotional power of your existing registrants. EnduranceFinder turns every athlete into a trackable, rewarded affiliate.

The Old Way

  • Word-of-mouth promotion is invisible and impossible to track or reward
  • Managing affiliates requires third-party tools and constant manual oversight
  • No way to turn existing registrants into promoters without complex integrations
  • Cross-promotion with other race directors requires separate agreements and spreadsheets

With EnduranceFinder

  • Every registrant automatically receives a unique affiliate link in their confirmation email
  • Commission tracking and payouts are handled entirely through Stripe — zero admin for you
  • Registrants organically promote your race to their network and earn rewards for doing so
  • Cross-event discovery happens automatically across the EnduranceFinder ecosystem

How It Works

Automatic Affiliate Links for Every Registrant

No setup, no third-party tools, no manual management. The Affiliate Engine runs itself from the moment someone registers.

STEP 01

Registrant Receives Affiliate Link

After registering for a race, every athlete automatically receives a unique affiliate link in their confirmation email. No action required from you.

The link is embedded naturally — no pop-ups or mandatory sharing gates.
STEP 02

They Share With Their Network

Athletes share their unique link with running buddies, training groups, and their social audience. Each click and conversion is tracked automatically.

Social sharing turns your athletes into your most authentic promoters.
STEP 03

Everyone Earns

When someone registers through the affiliate link, the referrer earns a commission — paid out via Stripe. You get more registrations with zero extra effort.

Commissions are calculated and paid automatically. Nothing to manage.

Three Revenue Streams

Passive Income, Built Into Every Sale

The Affiliate Engine unlocks three interconnected ways to earn — all automated, all tracked, all paid through Stripe.

Affiliate Engine

Athletes promote, you grow

Every registrant becomes an affiliate for your race. They share their unique link, and when someone registers through it, the referrer earns a commission. More registrations, zero ad spend.

Brand Ambassador

20% platform fees — forever

When your registrants sign up as new race directors on EnduranceFinder, you earn 20% of the platform fees from their future race sales. This is a lifetime commission — you earn as long as they host.

Ecosystem Commissions

Cross-event discovery

Your registrants are presented with other local races after signing up. You earn a commission on every sale — and other race directors' athletes see your races too. Mutual growth, zero effort.

Why It Matters

Growth Without the Grind

Stop spending on ads and start leveraging the people who already love your races.

Fully Automated

Affiliate links, tracking, and payouts all happen without any action from you. Set it and forget it — the system runs 24/7.

Passive Revenue Streams

Earn from three sources simultaneously: affiliate commissions, brand ambassador fees, and ecosystem cross-sales. All passive.

Community-Powered Growth

Your athletes become your most authentic marketers. People trust recommendations from training partners over ads — every time.

Real-Time Analytics

Track referral clicks, conversions, and commissions from your dashboard. See which affiliates drive the most registrations.

Perfect For

Every Race Type Benefits

Whether you host local 5Ks or major marathons, the Affiliate Engine turns your community into your growth engine.

Marathons & Ultras

Running coaches share race links with their athletes. Each referral fills another starting corral. Training communities grow organically.

Trail Races & OCR

Superfans become grassroots promoters. Every shared link fills more start waves — and earns the sharer race credits.

Coaching Clinics & Camps

Athletes refer training partners naturally. Coaches earn ambassador income from alumni who become race directors themselves.

Running Club Events

Running clubs share affiliate links with their members. Clubs earn for every registration that comes through their link.

Endurance Conferences

Professional networks amplify your reach. Speakers and athletes alike drive registrations through their affiliate links.

Charity & Corporate Races

Board members, sponsors, and fitness influencers promote charity races. Affiliate tracking turns social capital into measurable ROI.

Our athletes share our races because they love the challenge. Now they also earn for doing it. We saw a 30% increase in referral-driven registrations in the first month — all without running a single new ad.
