From spreadsheets and per-runner fees to one place that just works
See what changes when registration, volunteers, tracking, fundraising, and results all live in one system instead of eight.

After: Your Race Grows Itself

Frequently asked questions
4% on ticket sales. That's it. No monthly fee, no annual contract, no setup fee. You pay nothing until runners actually register. Donations are completely free: 0% platform fee. Only standard payment processing fees from your chosen gateway apply.
Most races are annual events. Paying monthly for software you use two or three months a year doesn't make sense, especially for volunteer-run events. With Calisto, you pay only when your race sells registrations. Off-season, it costs you nothing.
Calisto takes zero platform fee on fundraising donations. Only standard payment processing fees apply (from your chosen payment gateway). If your race raises $200,000 for charity, that's $10,000 more going to the cause compared to platforms that charge 5%.
Yes. Calisto integrates with 40+ regional payment gateways. Use your existing merchant account or negotiate your own rate. You're never locked into a single processor.
Spectators visit a public tracking page (no login required), search by bib or name, and follow multiple runners. Splits refresh every 10 seconds. Predicted finish time updates as the runner progresses. It's the page families share with each other on race morning.
Share a public sign-up link. Volunteers pick roles, shifts, and stations (aid station, checkpoint, finish line, etc.), sign a digital waiver, and get a QR code for race day check-in. You see who showed up and who didn't from one dashboard.
Yes. Five team types: Relay, Club, Corporate, Charity, and Family. Captains create teams and share join codes. Team results, leaderboards, and fundraising totals are all aggregated automatically.
Design your certificate once with a template builder: background image, layout, merge tags (name, time, placement, date). Bulk generate for all finishers or let runners download theirs from the results page. High-resolution PDF.
No. If you can fill out a form, you can set up a race. The system walks you through everything: distances, pricing, registration page, volunteer sign-up, and results. Most race directors have it running in an afternoon.
Yes. A guided import wizard walks you through it step by step, or you can bulk import via CSV with field mapping. Historical race data and contact records transfer in minutes.
