Inclusive Registration Pricing
Support charity races with sliding scale registration, pay-what-you-can entry, and optional fundraising add-ons. Make your races accessible to every athlete.
Not every athlete can pay the same entry fee. And that’s okay.
In the endurance community, we understand that a first-time 5K runner and a seasoned ultra-marathoner have different financial realities. Sliding scale and pay-what-you-can registration honor this truth while keeping your races sustainable.
Accessibility
No athlete is turned away because of money
Sustainability
Those who can, contribute more to support others
Community
Built on trust and mutual support among athletes
Generosity
The spirit of giving back to the running community
Choose Your Approach
Different models for different races and communities.
Sliding Scale Registration

Pay What You Can
