I built RunRaja because trail race organizers often run the hardest parts of an event across spreadsheets, chat groups, payment exports, timing notes, and separate result pages. That can work early on, but race week gets chaotic fast: late registrations, team corrections, BIB changes, checkpoint updates, DNF/DNS status, result edits all need to be quick and auditable.
RunRaja is a trail race management and adventure tracking platform for organizers, runners, hikers, volunteers and spectators, etc ...
What you can do with RunRaja: - Create events, standalone races, and league races - Manage registrations, payments, BIBs, teams, imports, exports, and organizer overrides - Run race day with unified starts, control point tracking, DNF/DNS status, and audit logs - Publish public rankings, splits, team standings, and shareable result pages - Use mobile live GPS tracking for active attempts and adventure routes
The bigger idea is not just registration software. I want RunRaja to become a race-day command center for trail communities, especially in Croatia and the Balkans, where organizers need serious tooling without losing the local, hands-on spirit of their events.
I would love feedback from race organizers, endurance athletes, event volunteers, and anyone who has dealt with messy race-day operations: - What would you need to trust this for a real event? - Which part of race management feels most painful today? - Is the product positioning clearer for organizers or runners?
Thanks for taking a look.

The GPS tracking worked really smoothly during my test run and the results page came together fast. Would love to see a bit more flexibility on team registration but overall it's already leagues ahead of the spreadsheet setup I've been using.
Registered for a local trail race on RunRaja and the live GPS tracking was impressively smooth, even on spotty cell service. Clean layout, no fluff, actually useful stuff for runners and organizers.
Currently one of the best trail running platform in Croatia and in the region. Easy and intuitive to use both for runners and for race organisation teams.
RunRaja is an outstanding platform for runners. It has a clean and intuitive interface, making it very easy to navigate and use from day one. Everything is well organized, reliable, and works smoothly. I especially appreciate how simple it is to track races, results, and running progress in one place. The overall user experience is excellent, and the platform feels fast and trustworthy. I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about running.
What needs improvement
The platform is already excellent. I would just love to see more integrations with popular fitness apps and wearables, along with additional customization options for user profiles and statistics. Other than that, it's a fantastic product.
vs Alternatives
I tried several running platforms, but RunRaja stood out because of its simplicity, reliability, and well-designed interface. It provides all the essential information without unnecessary complexity, making it much more enjoyable to use than other alternatives
Having seen how much work goes into setting up local races, keeping track of everyone is usually a logistical nightmare.
It’s awesome to see a platform that actually handles everything under one roof instead of organizers having to jump between different apps and scribbled notes.
Organizers can literally save 2-5 hours per race, depending on the number of participants, by having everything they need on one platform.
Also, it's free!
What needs improvement
A dedicated offline-first companion app for checkpoint volunteers working in areas with absolutely zero cell service would make it flawless. Although it might be good by now, this was an impression from about 4-5 weeks ago.
vs Alternatives
Managing events manually using Excel sheets and localized timing software.
I’ve been using this app for quite a while, and it’s been a great experience. It’s intuitive, easy to navigate, and packed with useful information. It offers plenty of features that make things easier for both event organizers and participants. Highly recommended!
What needs improvement
The overall look and feel of the app could be more modern and visually appealing. A refreshed design with a cleaner interface and improved graphics would make the user experience even better.
vs Alternatives
I chose this app because it’s simple and intuitive to use. It gives me full control over all my data, offers excellent filtering options, and makes it easy to quickly access the data I need.
