Check-in is now off by default
Check-in — QR and manual entry, plus the automatic open/close around each event’s start time — has moved behind a Settings toggle and is now off by default for every account. Head to Settings to turn it on if you want attendees checking in at your events.

Waitlists and more ways to celebrate a run
Full events now offer a waitlist and check you in automatically the moment a spot opens, instead of turning you away. Check-in also celebrates bigger milestones — 25, 50, 100, and 365 runs — shows how your attendance compares to the rest of your club, and rotates through a bigger set of running facts and tips. We also fixed some bug fixes related to password changes to the sign-in auth.

Faster event setup and PNG QR downloads
You can now download an event’s check-in QR code as a PNG, ready to share or print. We also refreshed event scheduling with a visual calendar and quick time choices, so adding a run feels faster and more natural.

Email support and calendar downloads
We gave RunRally a visual refresh and made the event workflow easier to follow. You can now add events to Google Calendar or download a calendar file with the time, location, and check-in link included. We also added email sign-in and password recovery alongside Google.
