About
RaceID is a comprehensive race event management platform offering registration, timing, marketing, and participant experience tools for event organizers. Its Racefox integration stands out as a key revenue-generating and value-adding feature: race organizers can enable an AI coaching option directly within the registration flow, allowing participants to subscribe to a personal AI coach at the point of sign-up. Racefox uses a wearable heart rate band with an accelerometer paired with a smartphone app to provide real-time coaching for running and cross-country skiing. The AI coach monitors movement and effort, guides pace, corrects technique, assigns drills, and builds fully personalized training plans tailored to each participant's fitness level and goals — all delivered through audio prompts via headphones. For race organizers, enabling the Racefox option requires just a single toggle in the RaceID distance setup — no additional technical work. For every subscription sold through their registration, organizers earn a €10 kickback. Participants benefit from structured, injury-aware training and arrive at race day in better shape, creating a richer event experience. RaceID's broader platform also includes event timing, marketing tools, participant apps, virtual race support, and sustainability features, making it a one-stop solution for professional and amateur race organizers across Europe and beyond.
