The Process

THREE PHASES.
ZERO GUESSWORK.

We've broken the entire journey into three clear phases — before your event, on race day, and after.

1

Submit Your Partnership Inquiry

Fill out our short organizer form with your event details. We'll review your application and get back to you within a few business days.

⏱ ~5 minutes
2

Onboarding Call with Your Partner Contact

A dedicated team member walks you through the platform, answers questions, and helps configure your event settings based on your specific run format.

⏱ 30-45 minute call
3

Build Your Event Listing

Set up categories (3K, 5K, 10K, 21K), registration details, slot caps, registration cutoff dates, shirt sizing, and any custom fields for your run.

⏱ Guided setup
4

Review, Test & Go Live

We run a test registration together to confirm everything looks right. Once you approve, your event goes live and starts appearing on the RUNNINGMAN.PH events feed.

⏱ Go live when ready
5

Watch Registrations Come In

Your organizer dashboard shows real-time registration counts, payment status, category breakdown, and shirt size inventory. No more manual counting.

⏱ Ongoing until race day
