Race
Planner
Your personal assistant for discovering and registering for running events worldwide — choose a race, manage sign-up, and stay motivated to the start line.
A tool that saves time, inspires progress and keeps runners running.
Race Planner is designed to revolutionise how runners plan and participate in events. Inspired by the challenges athletes face, the project bridges the gap between training and race day — providing a seamless platform for discovering events, simplifying registration, and enhancing motivation with personalised achievements.
Through detailed research and collaboration with runners and race organisers, the goal was to create a tool that saves time, inspires progress, and fosters a vibrant community — ensuring every runner reaches their goals with confidence.
Runners are everywhere.
The races are scattered.
The passionate runner.
A runner who wants a convenient app to discover events worldwide. They value intuitive filters for location, distance and date that make it easy to find races that fit — plus calendar integration and reminders so they never miss an event.
One place to find a race, register for it, and stay on track.

I benchmarked the apps runners already use.
Before designing, I analysed leading event and activity apps across user experience, content, functionality and reviews — to find the gap none of them filled for runners.
Athletes, coaches & fitness enthusiasts improving training and connecting with peers.
Clear icons and imagery aid navigation.
Interface feels overloaded for new users; event search and filtering need work.
Runners, cyclists & swimmers tracking workouts and competing with friends.
Intuitive, map-based design with detailed analytics and clean visuals.
Focused on individual activities, not events — limited event information.
Athletes & fans looking for live streams and sporting events.
Effective event search by location; modern, appealing visuals.
Built for viewing, not participating; event info hard to navigate.
General public booking events of all kinds, including sports.
Intuitive filtering by category, date and location; up-to-date content.
Running events aren’t a dedicated category; sport filters lack precision.
The gap: none combine race discovery, in-app registration and runner motivation in one focused place. That became Race Planner’s wedge.
From “I want to run a race” to a confirmed spot.
I mapped the full journey — discovery, registration and verification — including every decision and branch, so onboarding and event participation stay seamless.
Four pillars.
Discover, register, motivate, manage.
Race Planner addresses every challenge with four connected jobs — so a runner always knows where discovery ends and registration begins.
Find races globally, tailored to distance, date, location and goals.
Sign up directly in the app, with saved details and clear status.
Achievements and progress tracking that keep the goal alive.
Budgeting and scheduling tools to manage travel and race day.
