Namibian Traders — Race Registration & Timing

How it works

Five steps, one platform

Everything between "I want to run this" and "here's my finishing time" happens in one place — for the runner and the organiser. Payment is required to complete a registration.

Register

Pick a race and distance, create a profile once and reuse it for every future entry.

Pay

Complete payment at checkout (card or mobile money). No payment = no confirmed entry.

Collect bib

Pick up a numbered bib with a QR code linked to your registration (QR check-in is planned).

Cross the line

Your watch records splits and finish times — results sync to the platform.

See your time

Official results post to the live board and your profile within minutes once synced.

Beyond registration

One platform, every stage of the event

The platform is built to grow beyond registration into a complete event management system — a single command-centre for creating events, collecting payments, running race day and producing post-event reports. Calendar notifications are a core feature: participants and organisers get reminders for what's next.

From creation → registration → payment → race day → results → post-event reporting — the goal is one central command centre for running an event, not a patchwork of spreadsheets and tools. The calendar isn't just a view — it actively reminds both participants and organisers what's next.

Beyond race day

Training doesn't stop when the race ends

The same app that gets you registered can track the training in between — with the route recorded, not just the result.

GPS session recording

Route, distance, elevation, pace and speed, tracked for every run — including in the background while your phone is locked.

Cloud sync

Sessions upload automatically, so a session started on one device is there when you open another.

Connects to Strava & co.

Link third-party fitness services so your training and race history live in one place.

One profile, every race

Past results, personal bests and upcoming entries sit alongside your training log.

For organisers

Run your race,
not a spreadsheet

Own your entry list

Registrations, payments and runner history stay in your account, not a rented template.

Results, handled for you

Upload or integrate your timing data and results publish straight to the platform.

Payouts you can trace

Every entry fee is reconciled against a runner and a race, ready for your books.

Where this is headed

Built in phases, not all at once

Namibian Traders already organises races. Rather than lean on a timing provider indefinitely, we're building that capability in-house, one working phase at a time.

01In progress

Entry & payment

Race-entry portal, athlete database, online payment, automatic confirmation and participant lists.

02Planned

Timing

Bib assignment, race-day QR-code check-in, and results upload and integration (watch syncs and uploads).

03Planned

Athlete app

Race history, personal results, rankings and virtual-race uploads with Strava-style syncing.

04Planned

Community

GPS training tracking, clubs, challenges, leaderboards and notifications.

The goal isn't to copy an existing platform feature for feature — it's to own the registration and timing layer for our own events, then open it to other organisers once it's proven.
