Our second quarter Making Strides edition is here! This is your quarterly recap of Race Roster’s most noteworthy updates, releases, and valuable content from this past quarter.
1 – New product availability settings
Chances are that yours is one of the 90+% of events with products set up in registration or in the post registration store. Get familiar with the recent additions and improvements we’ve made to product availability settings.
We’ve given you greater product availability control, and centralized settings. This means you can manage visibility and availability for products in registration and in the store, all from one location.

2 – Live predictive tracking for events with and without splits
Last year, we released our Live Predictive Tracking feature, which allows spectators to track their loved ones on a race course by utilizing a participant’s split times to predict their pace, position on the course, and finish time.
With our newest update, events with and without splits can make use of our predictive tracking technology! Live Predictive Tracking can now be enabled for practically any race distance and format, so we encourage you to start collecting estimated finish time within the registration process for even your non-segmented race events.
