Type the bib. Get every frame.
Bib number photo search baked into the race gallery. Every photo is read for bibs as it lands, every bib is tied to the runner's registration record, and a single number returns every frame they appear in across the course. Selfie matching sits alongside it for the runners whose bib was hidden under a windshell at mile 22.
Automatic bib OCR · Selfie fallback · Whole-course coverage per runner
OCR on upload. One number on lookup.
- 01
Bibs are read on upload
Every photo is scanned for race bib numbers as it processes — no manual tagging, no per-photo work. Multi-runner frames index all the bibs in the photo, so a group shot returns to several runners' galleries.
- 02
Numbers map to runners
Bib numbers tie to imported registration data — name, email, distance — so every runner gets a delivery email the moment their first matched photo lands. They don't have to know the gallery exists; the gallery comes to them.
- 03
One search, whole-course gallery
The runner types their bib (or clicks the link in their email), sees every frame they appear in from start to finish chute, and buys digitals or prints from the same screen. Selfie search is right there if the bib didn't read on a frame.
Bib search the runners actually find their photos with.
Selfie + bib, not selfie or bib.
Bib search is one path; selfie matching is the other. Both cover the whole course. Whichever the runner uses first, they end up at the same complete gallery of themselves.
Delivery email lands the moment a bib matches.
The race studio doesn't have to do an end-of-day blast. Each runner gets their email when their first frame is processed — usually mid-race for the front of the pack.
Bib search drives digital impulse buys.
A finisher who finds themselves on the phone in the recovery tent is the highest-converting digital buyer there is. Bib search is faster than selfie for runners still pinned up.
GDPR-safe runner data.
Bib-to-runner mapping is held only as long as the race needs it. Runners can request their data, pull their photos, and delete their record any time — the audit trail comes built in.
