Racelink for Charities

Racelink was an audio-driven virtual race platform for charities and for our own original races that operated from March 2017 to December 2019. Racelink turned running into a thrilling and motivating adventure, with immersive audio and fantastic race rewards.

Comprising a completely customisable sales website, a user portal for live leaderboards and run logs, and a free customisable app for iPhone and Android, Racelink was the most advanced virtual race platform of its time. Unlike other virtual races, entrants were immersed in a thrilling audio-driven story that progressed with every kilometer they ran.

We hosted events for some of the UK's biggest charities including:

The Racelink platform made it easy for us to reach runners around the world and provide custom rewards, T-shirts, tote bags, hoodies, and more for every race – including rebranding the Racelink app for each event.

While Racelink is no longer active, several of the events have migrated to the Zombies, Run! New Adventures platform.
