RunSignup’s 2024 midyear trends show increases in per-race participation – and pricing
Early 2024 data shows growth in race participation, increases in race prices, and younger runners slowly returning to races.
15 August 2024
Numbers indicate both a return to running and an increase in market share for the GiveSignup | RunSignup platform over the last year.
After a challenging year for endurance events and nonprofits, GiveSignup | RunSignup closes Q1 of 2021 with encouraging signs of market expansion. Total transactions on the platform in March 2021 were just short of the transactions from March 2019, despite the continued absence of many large endurance events. This indicates both a return to running and an increase in market share for the GiveSignup | RunSignup platform over the last year.
In addition to the positive current trends, leading indicators also suggest both recovery in the market and expanding market share for GiveSignup | RunSignup. These include:
GiveSignup | RunSignup is responding to the growth by adding new members to the team. In addition to several new interns, they currently have job openings in Marketing, Development, and Sales, with additional job openings coming soon in Customer Support and Finance and HR.
GiveSignup | RunSignup Founder and CEO Bob Bickel said, “We are currently outpacing our Transaction and Net Revenue plan for March by 15%. It’s exciting to see recovery come even faster than we anticipated, and we expect to see more growth as our older previous customers return, join the new events and nonprofits we picked up in 2020.”
