RunSignUp Go is a strategic effort to help bring race day together for race directors and timers. RunSignUp Go provides an open platform to connect the various parts of race day together. This means existing tools and technologies can be tied together, and there is choice and freedom to add and change vendors whether for registration, results, bib assignment, mobile, race scoring or chip timing technology.
