Hello! I’m in my third year of MTB’ing and it’s my turn to be race director for our annual event. I’m thinking that an online pre-registration option makes sense. Anybody have a preferred system based on their experience? Seems like there are a gazillion of them out there and none of them are alike. Any insight is appreciated.

All the races I do use Bikereg.com.

Some of the bigger races use Active.com. I don’t know how their pricing compares to BikeReg but I do like the fact that they syndicate all their race info so sites like Singletracks can pull races into an online calendar. It’s extra exposure for race promoters which is nice. Would love to see BigReg add an API to syndicate race info.

imathlete.com seems to be the most popular in my neck of the woods. Always been quite happy with it, although I’ve only used active.com and bikereg.com a handful of times.

Webscorer.com or athletepath. The latter is better from a participant standpoint, as they require the online reg fee to be included in the entry fee rather than a separate fee charged directly to the participant (ala bikereg and far too many others). Webscorer also has a timing app that interfaces with their online registrations, and the online registrations aren’t as overpriced as others. There’s at least one other out there that allows online sign up, and a check to then be mailed, with no extra fee to the participant.
IMO active.com is by far the worst out there, and bikereg isn’t great. Both remind of ticketmaster ‘convenience’ fees. Not a huge deal on a $25 entry, but way out of line for $100 or more entry fees.
