With experience across 30+ adventure races - from 12–24 hour formats through to full expedition events - we understand what it takes to both deliver and grow these events.

Combined with the expertise of Tom Landon-Smith and Alina McMaster, eventplus is trusted by adventure racing organisers across New Zealand and Australia.  Built to save time, reduce complexity, and help you get registrations early - so you can focus on delivering a great event.

“Eventplus have provided the online entry system for a number of years for the events we organise. For major events, having a robust and reliable system is vital, and Eventplus consistently delivers at a high level.”

Adventure Racing often comes with higher costs and complexity - but that shouldn’t stop teams from entering. eventplus makes it easier for participants to say “yes” sooner, improving conversion and helping you fill your event faster. 

Teams can secure a spot before locking in all members
Flexible payments including instalments and Afterpay
Refund protection to reduce financial risk
Flexible Pricing Tiers including early-bird incentives, tiered pricing based on team numbers, and options for youth or senior discounts.

More teams entered, earlier commitment, and less friction from signup to start line.

Adventure Racing events require clear team structures, defined rules, and accurate participant data, without adding unnecessary admin.

eventplus simplifies team setup and management so entrants understand what’s required from the start, while you maintain full control.

• Configurable registration flows aligned to your event format, ensuring accurate and complete entries
• Flexible team rules supporting full-team participation
• Minimum and maximum team sizes enforced per category
• Registration options allowing either captains or individual members to enter
• Category-specific setup with tailored rules across event divisions
• Automated team divisions based on sex, gender, age, or custom criteria
• Built-in validation to ensure teams meet all requirements
  
  Accurate team setups, fewer errors, and a smoother path from entry through to race day.

Getting a full team registered is often one of the hardest parts of an adventure race.  
eventplus reduces follow-up and admin by:

Team invites sent directly by the captain
Direct registration links for each invited member
Automatic reminders for incomplete teams
Self-managed teams reducing organiser involvement
Clear visibility of team completion status

For large-scale team events, the team captain usually signs the team up for the event but then the rest of the team often forgets or is slow to join. This creates significant administrative work trying to follow up with people and remind them to sign up before the event.

Eventplus solves this by automatically sending a reminder email to all team captains who have incomplete teams. The email is clear and concise and talks participants through how to join their team. It is a game changer for us, saving hours of work both before the event and on registration day.

Adventure Racing requires visibility at both the individual and team level - giving organisers a clear view of each participant, as well as the team as a whole.   eventplus gives you both, without extra work:

Live Team List (public live list which can be linked from the website)
Registration reports (one record per participant) for communications and logistics
Team reports (one record per team) showing structure, members and status
Exportable data for timing teams, volunteers and coordinators
Targeted data sharing for medical, media or service providers

Steve and Jen Knowles have supported ARC Events since our inception in 2001, and more specifically through eventplus since launching the platform in 2012. In that time, we have delivered 76 events with over 32,000 participants.

I have always found them to be exceptionally customer-focused, and the platform they’ve developed is a direct reflection of that philosophy.
