WHAT THEY CANNOT DO

Race-day operations. Included.

RunSignUp and Active.com stop at registration. Running a marathon requires timing, corrals, aid stations, volunteers, and course management that neither platform offers.

  • Race-Day Operations: Included

    Registration platforms hand you a spreadsheet on race day. Calisto gives you a full operations dashboard with real-time timing and split tracking, corral capacity and wave start scheduling, and a course map carrying live runner progress markers. Aid stations report supply levels and staffing. Course marshals check in via mobile. Everything connects to the same runner record.

  • Volunteer Management: Included

    A 5,000-runner marathon needs 500+ volunteers. RunSignUp has basic volunteer signup. Active.com has none. Calisto provides full volunteer rostering with shift and station assignment, mobile check-in for day-of attendance, and automated communications and reminders. Volunteers get their own portal with shift details, maps, and messaging.

  • Post-Race Marketing: Included

    RunSignUp sends a results email. That is the end of their marketing. Calisto Studio gives you full marketing automation: post-race surveys, photo gallery notifications, early-bird registration campaigns for next year, referral programmes for runners to invite friends, and segmented campaigns by finish time, age group, or distance. Turn every finisher into a returning runner.

Registration is step one. Calisto handles all six.

RaceRoster and RunSignUp are registration platforms: they collect entries and process payments. But you still need separate tools for timing, course mapping, volunteer coordination, participant tracking, sponsor management, and on-site merchandise. Calisto replaces all of them with one integrated platform.

Choose your processor. Not theirs.

RunSignUp processes registrations through its own payments. Active.com does the same. Calisto connects to 73 payment gateways across 11 global regions. Your merchant account. Your rates.

Honest answers

Switching questions

Does Calisto integrate with existing timing systems?

Yes. Calisto supports integration with major chip timing providers. The native timing dashboard displays real-time splits, handles DNF/DNS tracking, and publishes results automatically. You can use your existing timing hardware while gaining full race-day operations management.

Can Calisto handle a race series with multiple events?

Yes. The endurance vertical supports both solo events and multi-event series. Series standings aggregate automatically across events. Runners see their series progress in the Navigator portal. Series-wide marketing campaigns target participants across all events.

What about expo and merchandise sales?

Calisto POS handles expo vendor sales, merchandise, and food concessions at race events. Revenue from expo booths, merch tents, and food vendors all flows into the same event financial summary. No separate POS system needed.

How does per-event pricing work for a race series?

Each event in a series is priced individually. A 12-race series pays per event. Off-season months cost nothing. This aligns our pricing with your revenue calendar. And every event includes all 98 products: registration, timing, operations, POS, marketing, portals, and more.

How does pricing work?

Setting up costs nothing and no card is required. You get full access to all 98 products with no feature restrictions. Core and Enterprise carry no additional cost. Commerce is a 1% revenue share. Every other suite is priced per app in the Marketplace.

Why do you charge a percentage of revenue?

Because it makes us partners, not a vendor. A flat subscription means your software company collects the same fee in your best month and your worst. A revenue share means we only grow when you grow. Slow month or off-season? Your bill scales down with you.
