02 — The Operating Challenge

Running Nearly 4,000 People In One Morning

With nearly 4,000 runners on the course the same morning, UEH Half Marathon demanded serious operational rigor - the kind that requires a battle-tested operator, not just a registration platform.

  • Coordinating a huge crowd at the start/finish zones
  • Managing 3 distances with very different runner counts
  • Recording accurate results per distance
  • Publishing a clear, easy-to-check leaderboard
  • Tracking the finish / DNF rate
  • Delivering a professional experience for the UEH community and runners

03 — How NEXRUN Executed

Before — During — After

NEXRUN ran the event through a before–during–after operating process, keeping the race smooth and the results data clean. Beforehand, the team prepared and classified runner data by distance — 5KM, 10KM and 21KM. During setup, the team laid out the start, finish, kit pickup, crowd-flow and on-course support zones. On race day, the timing system captured every runner's result in real time, feeding straight into the final results and leaderboard.

  • Standardizing runner data by distance
  • Supporting check-in and BIB distribution
  • Setting up the start / finish zones
  • Operating the timing system
  • Recording results per runner
  • Publishing the leaderboard by distance
  • Compiling post-event data
