ACTIVE Network Inc has confirmed a strategic partnership with RaceHQ that should see further improved software solutions for race directors across the endurance sports landscape.
“ACTIVE Network is in the business of helping organizers create great experiences and encouraging consumers to engage with them, and by identifying and working with partners like RaceHQ we further our commitment of providing the best resources to race directors in order to accomplish their goals,” said Eric McCue, General Manager of Sports at ACTIVE Network.
“Companies such as Ruckus Sports, organizers of the Ruckus Obstacle Racing Series and The Walking Dead Escape, as well as VAVi Sport & Social have leveraged both RaceHQ and ACTIVE Network to orchestrate mass participatory race events – moving forward, we are very excited to be working with RaceHQ on ways to co-promote and integrate our technologies to better support event directors in producing great events.”
With access to more than five million endurance participants, ACTIVE Network continues to cultivate a legion of enthusiasts and provides its technology platform, ACTIVE Works Endurance, to power the online registration process and membership management for race directors. The ACTIVE Works platform helps race directors manage their events more efficiently while helping streamline the process for athletes throughout the participant journey.
RaceHQ is billed as ‘a first-of-its-kind project management tool built specifically for event directors.’ RaceHQ’s comprehensive set of features includes: templates with built-in event planning tools, the ability to sync external calendars with tasks and milestones, and advanced permissions that allow users to collaborate with other members within their organization.
“Our strategic partnership with ACTIVE Network allows us to get our tool into the hands of a broader audience of event managers and will have the ability to raise the bar on how mass participatory events are managed by creating standard operating procedures within our industry,” said Anton Villatoro, President and co-founder at RaceHQ.
”We look forward to leveraging ACTIVE’s deep relationships within endurance sports to take more events to the next level.”
