For your communication

Your event lives on social media on race day.

How it works concretely

4 steps, from course scouting to your event report.

01
Before the event

Course scouting and logistics planning

Site visit or study of the course to identify 3 to 5 key photo spots: start, panoramic sections, technical points, aid stations, finish line. Briefing on the sponsors to highlight and your access zones. Validation of the QR code and gallery skin.

02
On race day

Mobile coverage on key points

Presence on 3 to 5 photo spots, moving between points according to runner timing. Deported 4G/5G antenna to feed the gallery even in forests or at altitude. Solo, I can handle up to around 2,000 runners spread across the day. Beyond that or on a massive simultaneous start (marathon 10k+), we are talking about a team.

03
Live diffusion

Photos on participants' phones, during the race

Each photo lands on the gallery live, as the race unfolds (depending on network coverage). Runners scan a QR at the finish, or follow the link in the confirmation email sent the night before. Search by bib number, selfie recognition as an opt-in (activated by each runner).

If your finish village has a screen or video projector (provided by you or your AV partner), the gallery can be displayed in full size. Sponsors visible at the edges, families spotting their runner, atmosphere that lasts.

04
After the event

Gallery available for your runners, your sponsors, your communication

The photos on the gallery are the final photos. No D+72h deliverable to wait for. Downloadable in HD for your report, your press kit, your sponsors, your website. Gallery stays accessible for 1 year by default, until the next edition, or for whatever duration we agree on.

Direct · Your event becomes a media platform

An audience that lives the race
with the runners.

Real-time statistics

QR scans, unique visitors, most shared photos: you see what is happening during the race, and it feeds your post-event report.

Flexible diffusion model

Free for runners, with photo sales to participants, or hybrid model: you choose according to your financing strategy.

Customisable skin (optional)

Colours, header, sponsors visible, visual identity of your event.

Financing models

Three ways to finance your photo coverage. Choose according to your budget and your strategy.

01 · Organiser package

Organiser package

You finance the coverage, photos free for your runners.

  • Premium experience for your participants, no paywall
  • A real registration argument: live photos included
  • Maximum natural reach: runners share without friction
02 · Sponsor financing

Sponsor financing

A sponsor covers the coverage in exchange for visibility in the gallery.

  • Neutral coverage budget for your organisation
  • A new offering to bring to your partners
  • Photos free for your runners
03 · Cost redistribution to runners

Cost redistribution to runners

Runners who want their photos buy them. The coverage cost is carried by those who directly benefit from it.

  • Free preview for all
  • Suited to high-volume races
  • Economic terms to define together (coverage, commission) according to the size of your event

The three models can also be combined. We tune the formula that works for your event.
