What is The ROC Triathlon presented by TruePath Racing?
Today Steelman Racing hosts 5-6 events per year, including a trail race, 3 open water swims, and a triathlon.
One of David’s priorities when he took over Steelman Racing was finding the right timing partner and registration platform because of two primary challenges, inability to make updates to registration and communication challenges with timer.
It’s no secret that Thanksgiving day is the biggest running day of the year. And in the Philadelphia area, the Greater Philadelphia YMCA has traditionally hosted a local Gobble Wobble across several locations. In 2024, they’re continuing to refine their events, with a new location launching and big revenue and donation growth goals for returning locations.
See how they are combining registration for all locations on a single site and utilizing Website V2 and the RaceDay CheckIn app for a better participant experience from registration to race day.
