DISCOVERAn app for your race
Sports event app for race organizers: the course, runner information and the results
Marathon, half marathon, trail or fun run: runners find the course and aid stations on the map, read the race guide and get the right message on race morning.
The organizer of a road race or a trail race gets its own app, on iPhone as on Android, without writing code: the course and its key points on a map, the runner's guide, notifications on race day, then the results and photos.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
The course, point by point
Start, aid stations, first aid posts and finish on one map
In the Map section, every key point of the race has its own card: the start line and its corrals, the aid stations and what they serve, the first aid posts, the best spots to cheer, the finish and the bag drop. The elevation profile and the tricky sections fit in an article. Runners study the ground before race day, and their families know where to stand to see them go by.
The runner's guide, always up to date
Bib pickup, bag drop, shuttles, rules: a section of articles
What used to be printed in the runner's booklet becomes a series of articles: bib pickup times and place, documents to bring, mandatory gear for the trail, shuttles to the start, race rules. When a detail changes three days before the race, you edit the article instead of reprinting, and a push flags the update.
From registration opening to the day after the race
What the app does at each stage, with no change to your registration platform.
Months before
The course on the map, a countdown to the start, a button to the registration platform.Race week
The runner's guide in articles and a push to recall bib pickup times.Race morning
A message at the entrance to the start village, and pushes if the weather or the time changes.The day after
Results, photo galleries and the date of next year's edition.
On race morning, the right message at the right time
Push for last-minute instructions, Geofencing at the start village
Heat warning, start pushed back fifteen minutes, part of the course rerouted: a message written in the back office goes out to every runner and supporter, immediately or at the time you set. Geofencing shows a message to people entering the start village area, “Bag drop to the left of the arch, closes at 8:15 am”, provided they have location turned on.
Results and photos, in the same app
Rankings, galleries and next year's edition, from the day after
As soon as your timing company publishes the times, an article links to the results page or lists the ranking, and a push announces it. Photo galleries follow, by start wave or by point on the course. The app stays on runners' phones: on the day registration opens for next year, a push lets them know.
Two AI tools for your race
What they do, what they cost.
To prepare
A pace calculator
Ask the AI Extension Builder for “a tool where runners enter a target time and see their pace per kilometer and their time at each aid station”: it creates the section in the app, and you refine it by replying.
Free
To inform
An assistant that has read the rules
“Are poles allowed on the trail? Where do I leave my bag?” The Chatbot draws on your articles, events and course points, and answers each runner in their own language.
29€/month
A city marathon
Thousands of runners, start corrals, closed streets: a push to people living along the course, targeted by sector on the map.
A mountain trail race
Mandatory gear, cut-off times, remote aid stations: the runner's guide and the map spare you a pile of email questions.
The village fair and its fun run
When the race is just one moment in a bigger local celebration, the town's community events app brings the whole program together.

Extension Store
For a race: Map, Agenda, articles, Form, notifications and Geofencing from Premium; a paid Chatbot; the AI Extension Builder at no charge.
Budgeting for a race app
With the Premium plan, your race has its native apps, Geofencing at the start village and race-day pushes; the pace calculator, built with the AI Extension Builder, costs nothing. If several volunteers publish at once, Pro gives them as many team logins as needed. The Chatbot's price appears in the AI block.
| Premium · iPhone, Android, Geofencing | 55€ /month, billed yearly |
| Pro · a team with no login limit | 105€ /month, billed yearly |
Registration fees are still collected by your platform; Apple and Google bill your developer accounts themselves.
Running race app: organizers' questions
Can runners register and pay in the app?
No: registration and its payment stay on your usual platform, which the app opens with a button. The app takes over for everything that follows.
Can people follow runners live on the map?
No: the map shows fixed points, not where runners are. If your timing company offers live tracking, a link in the app leads to it.
How do we alert only the runners of one distance?
Without runner accounts, notifications go to everyone or to a geographic sector: name the distance in the text. Sorting by distance takes accounts: Authentication and User groups, add-ons on Premium, included in Pro.
Can the results be published automatically?
The app computes no ranking. You publish an article with the ranking or a link to your timing company's page; your AI assistant, connected via MCP, can write that article, which only goes live once you approve it.
What is the price of an app for a marathon or trail race?
Everything starts with the Premium plan, which covers both stores, Geofencing and notifications. Pro mainly serves large teams, with its unlimited logins. The Chatbot is optional; the AI Extension Builder stays free.
One app for several races a year, is that possible?
Yes: one app for your organization, one event per race in the Agenda and map points for each course. Past races leave the Agenda on their own.
