For HYROX & functional fitness

Photo coverage built for heat-based racing.

Indoor, heat after heat, thousands of athletes a day. PodiumBase coordinates covered stations and run segments, with eligible bib or consented-selfie matching where event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow it.

Where PodiumBase fits

Between an overpriced incumbent and a Drive link.

The incumbent

General-purpose gallery

Limited heat and station context

  • ·Athletes leave with no photos at all
The DIY option

A photographer + a Drive link

You coordinate everything
  • ·Thousands of athletes across rolling heats
  • ·No way to sort who’s who in a Drive folder
  • ·No sales, no payouts, no matching

How it works

Three steps to race-day photos.

01

Consented selfie search is gated

Where event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow it, selfie search can return likely eligible matches from covered legs, stations, or heats.

02

Publish on your event schedule

Pros can upload as they shoot, and galleries update as eligible photos are published. Timing depends on the event and photographer workflow.

03

You pay nothing to start

Post a bounty zone with a floor, or run rep-only at $0. Stay in the loop on coverage and sales the whole way.

The HYROX difference

Covered stations and runs, organized by event.

A sled push, wall-ball set, or sandbag lunge can obscure both face and bib under difficult indoor light. Where event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow it, PodiumBase can use face matching plus heat context to return likely eligible matches from covered positions.

Questions

Before you add your event.

Does face matching work in indoor arena lighting?⌄
It can, when the face is clear enough. Low light, obstruction, and motion can still cause missed or false matches; eligible searches can also use heat and timing context.
How do you handle rolling heats with thousands of athletes?⌄
Where event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow selfie search, the system can use eligible published frames plus heat and timing context to return likely matches without relying only on the heat number. Missed and false matches remain possible.
Athletes are mid-burpee or behind a sled — can you still match them?⌄
Potentially. Where event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow it, a clear enough face plus timing and heat context can return a likely eligible match; obstruction and low light can still cause misses.
There’s no established photo platform for HYROX. Why you?⌄
Exactly — the format is exploding and unserved. PodiumBase was built for face-based, station-based, heat-based racing from the ground up, not retrofitted from road marathons.
Do you support doubles and relays?⌄
Doubles and relay athletes can search independently for eligible published matches from covered segments. Availability and results depend on event and user eligibility, coverage, and image quality.
What does it cost me?⌄
Set a guaranteed floor per bounty zone and pay only the gap after photo sales, or run rep-only at $0 and pros earn from sales alone. No retainer.
