Keep your registration system. Add PodiumBase around the race.
PodiumBase runs alongside whatever registration provider you use today. One event, activated with you by our team, adds a sponsor-ready gallery, athlete photo discovery, race-day check-in, organizer reporting, and athlete follow-up. Native registration is there when you want it, never required on day one.

You do not have to change anything to try this.
“We already give photos away for free.”
You can keep giving photos away. PodiumBase adds the searchable gallery, sponsor placement, athlete follow-up, and event reporting around it. The gallery earns its place even when you never sell a photo.
“We already use another registration platform.”
Keep it. The event page, gallery, check-in, and reporting all work without moving registration. Native registration is optional, later, if the numbers convince you.
“We do not want to migrate before seeing results.”
You do not migrate anything. Activate one event and judge the results per event: gallery traffic, athlete matches, transactions, check-in throughput.
“We do not have time for another setup project.”
Activation is concierge. You give us the event details, we configure the page, gallery, sponsor treatment, and athlete path, and you review everything before launch.
One race page. Three ways it pays.
Photo revenue
Athletes find themselves by bib search or selfie and buy the shots they want. Works with your existing photographers or ours.
- Who paysAthletes buy per photo
- Your share20% of every sale
- If freeThe rail becomes sponsor value instead
Sponsor inventory
You sell sponsor packages; PodiumBase builds the inventory they buy. Shared previews and free downloads carry the sponsor mark with them.
- Who paysSponsors pay you; you set package pricing
- PlacementEvent page, gallery, photo watermarks
- WatermarkOn previews + free downloads; purchased photos delivered clean
- After activationA sponsor-ready package sheet you can sell from
Registration commerce
When you are ready: native checkout in the same cart as photos and merchandise. Optional; the other two rails do not depend on it.
- Fee$1 + 5% per entry
- Who paysRunner pays the platform fee, or you absorb it
- IncludesCoupons, add-ons, donations, merch

What it does for your jobs.
Your setup today, side by side.
No competitor names here. The real comparison is the workaround: several tools stitched together around one race.
A separate photo vendor, or a shared drive of files nobody can search
Separate vendorOne gallery, searchable by bib number or selfie. Runners find themselves
You email a link; most never open it
Photo-ready alerts and email follow-up bring them back on their own
A logo on the banner and the t-shirt
Separate contractSponsors placed on the event page, in the gallery, and on photo watermarks. Inventory you can price
Paper lists, spreadsheets, or a second app to rent
Second appQR check-in, bib lookup, packet pickup, and an audit trail in the same system
Keep the provider you already use
Keep yours, or move it here later when you're ready. Your call, no migration required
Numbers scattered across each tool's export
One per-event dashboard: gallery traffic, matches, transactions, check-ins
Several vendors, several contracts, several logins
Several loginsOne page around your race, set up with you before launch
Nothing here requires migrating registration. In external mode your provider keeps handling it, and PodiumBase measures outbound registration clicks versus PodiumBase transactions, so you can see what the page drives to your provider.
