What you NEED to know.

*SPONSORED*

Drake likes simplicity.

Tired of clunky check-in systems that slow down packet pickup? Eventbrite makes sense for concerts—but not for 5K races.

With Run The Day, check-in is simple:

• Type a runner’s name

• Hand them a bib

• Say, “Have a great race!”

No chaos, no submenus, no missed participants.

Read why small races choose Run The Day over RunSignup.
