For HYROX & functional fitness

The only platform built for heat-based racing.

Indoor, heat after heat, thousands of athletes a day. PodiumBase matches every athlete by face across all eight stations and the run — no bib to read under a sled.

Where PodiumBase fits

Between an overpriced incumbent and a Drive link.

The incumbent

There isn’t one

Nobody serves this format

  • ·Indoor, low-light, station-based is unsolved
  • ·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

Athletes find by selfie

One selfie, no bib. Athletes find every photo of themselves in seconds — across every leg, station, or heat.

02

Photos go live race day

Pros upload as they shoot. Matched galleries are live within hours of the finish, not weeks later.

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

Eight stations, one run, every heat.

A sled push, a wall-ball set, a sandbag lunge — athletes are obscured, straining, and indoors under hard light. PodiumBase matches them by face through all of it, across every rolling heat, into one gallery per athlete.

Questions

Before you add your event.

Does face matching work in indoor arena lighting?⌄
Yes. Matching is tuned for low and mixed indoor light, and layers heat-window and timing signals as fallbacks — so a dim sled lane still resolves to the right athlete.
How do you handle rolling heats with thousands of athletes?⌄
Each athlete is matched by face regardless of which heat they ran. Photographers shoot continuously; the system sorts every frame to the right person across the whole day automatically.
Athletes are mid-burpee or behind a sled — can you still match them?⌄
Often yes, from partial and side angles, with timing and heat context filling gaps. Athletes enroll one selfie and we surface every recognizable frame of them across all eight stations.
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?⌄
Yes. Each athlete in a doubles or relay pairing is matched individually, so both partners get their own complete set of photos.
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.
