Active Network shares key organisational steps in the Race Director’s checklist
April 10, 2015

Having supported hundreds of thousands of events around the world over the last 15 years, ACTIVE Network® know that the secret to successful events lies in the details, of which there are dozens to manage before, during and after a race event.

While some steps are simple - like creating a budget – many others require expertise, forethought and experience.

Based upon offering technology solutions that benefit both participants and organisers, ACTIVE Network®  have created the Race Director’s Checklist, sharing their insight into what separates successful events from the rest.

The Race Director’s Checklist builds on ACTIVE’s expertise, organising the details that will make or break anr event into three categories: Planning the Event, The Day of the Event and Post-Event.

This free-to-download checklist not only tracks event details with interactive checks, but also presents easy-to-understand lessons on how to get them done.

The Race Director’s Checklist explains how to:

Before the event:
1. Prepare a budget that accounts for possible last-minute costs
2. Work with local government and police
3. Plan for emergencies
4. Attract participants through sponsorships and marketing

On the day of the event:
5. Organise volunteers
6. Continue marketing your event with social media

After the event:
7. Create presentations for key stakeholders
8. Promote your next event

With more than 55,000 endurance event clients and 15 years of experience, ACTIVE Network® is the world's leading provider of recreational event management software solutions, so we know how to help you get organised.

Endurance event clients include The Hong Kong Standard Chartered Marathon, Electric Run, The Stampede and Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon.

Commenting on the international event management expertise of the ACTIVE Network®, Abhinav Gupta, Senior Sales Manager, Asia Pacific at ACTIVE Network® states “successful endurance event organisers maximise their event experience throughout the participant journey, not just before and during the event, but after as well.

“Our online registration software solutions are optimised to grow event revenue and ensure an optimum participant user experience.”

ACTIVE Network® customer Yi Mei Chong, General Manager at Fencing Singapore, explains that “the ACTIVE Works Endurance platform is very straight forward and user-friendly both for us as back-end users and for our members.

“It has saved us a huge amount of time that we previously spent doing manual registrations.

“We love how we can see the event dashboard which helps us keep track of the growth and progress of our event registrations.

“With this increased efficiency we can focus more of our time and resources on our fencing events.”
