# endurace.pro vs RACES: Comparing Two Race Registration Platforms > By Amit K · Published 13 November 2026 · Event Management · [Read on endurace.pro](https://staging.endurace.pro/blog/endurace-pro-vs-races-registration-platform-compared) RACES is a registration platform run by the team behind the Youtoocanrun running events. Its public page says less about payouts and cancellations than other platforms, so this comparison is partly about what is stated and what you should ask. It uses only RACES’ own page, read on 13 November 2026. We are endurace.pro, so we are not neutral, and we say where RACES looks stronger. Looking for a Townscript alternative? Start with our guide to the [best Townscript alternative for race organizers](https://staging.endurace.pro/blog/best-townscript-alternative-for-race-organizers). ## What each is built for RACES calls itself India’s first fully integrated registration platform for running events, and says it is selective about the partnerships it takes on. endurace.pro is built only for endurance events, across running, triathlon, cycling, hybrid fitness, trail, OCR, swimming, multisport, virtual, ultra and adventure races, and organizers list their own events. ## What the organizer pays **RACES:** its page shows a table headed “Convenience Fees”, with columns for a platform fee and a payment gateway charge. For entries under ₹1,000 the first figure is 2%, for ₹1,000 to ₹1,400 it is ₹30, and above ₹1,400 it is ₹40. Alongside these it lists ₹5.00 and a payment gateway charge of 1.85%. The page does not say who pays each item, the organizer or the athlete, or how GST is treated, so ask. **endurace.pro:** Your first event has no platform fee, though payment gateway charges apply. After that it is a flat 5.99% per entry with no other charges. There is no limit on participants, and every tool is included from your first event. ## What the athlete pays **RACES:** because the fees are called convenience fees, it is possible that they are added at checkout. The page does not say, so check what a runner pays for a ₹1,000 entry. **endurace.pro:** athletes pay the ticket price. We add no booking fee and no convenience fee. ## When you get paid **RACES:** we did not find payout timing on the page we read. **endurace.pro:** half of your sales can be withdrawn on demand before race day, and the rest is paid three days after the event, settled to your bank account. ## If you have to cancel the event **RACES:** we did not find a refund or cancellation policy on the page we read. Ask how refunds work and who pays the fees. **endurace.pro:** if you cancel an event, every athlete is refunded in full, automatically, and no fee is charged on those refunds. Each person gets one email with your reason and their refund. ## Race tools RACES lists custom form design with built-in validation, data cleaning, support for queries, and five value-added emails (launch, expo, race day and a post-race survey) included in the price. It also mentions a bib expo and UTM-tracked marketing. We could not find waivers, group registration, a waitlist or medical fields on the page we read. They may exist, so ask. On endurace.pro, each of these is built in: - Several distances per event, in km or miles, each with its own price and capacity, plus early-bird tiers and hidden tickets. - Your own questions per distance, and waivers that keep the signed name, time and exact wording with each registration. - Group booking with one payment, and a waitlist that offers each free place to the person who has waited longest. - Date of birth, blood group and emergency contact on every entry, exportable for your medical team. - Bib assignment and check-in per person, email to selected athletes, a CRM and tracking links. ## Where RACES may suit you better - **Hands-on services.** RACES lists data cleaning, query support and race-management services around the platform. endurace.pro is self-serve. - **An audience.** It says it has a database of 1 million runners and uses it to promote events. We cannot verify that number. - **Included emails.** Five core emails are included in its price. endurace.pro lets you email selected athletes with your own messages. ## Questions to ask any race platform - What do athletes pay at checkout, in total, for a ₹1,000 entry? - When do I get my money, and can I draw any of it before race day? - If I cancel the event, who refunds the athletes, and who pays the fees? - Does it store waivers, emergency contacts and bibs? ## What we checked We read this page on 13 November 2026: [RACES](https://youtoocanrun.com/races). Terms change, so please confirm them on the platform’s own pages. Where a page did not state something, we say so instead of guessing. ![Summary graphic: seven things to compare between two race platforms: what each is built for, what the organizer pays, what the athlete pays, when you get paid, if the organizer cancels, race tools, and where each may suit you.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/42sizs9z/production/a3dd745e51b33d239be3376bbfaac732fff58f7d-2400x3138.png?w=1600) Ready to list your race?
