Endurance event registration
Cycling event registration built for categories and wave starts
Cycling events need more than a ticket. TixSimple collects category, age group, emergency contact, and waiver signatures while letting you limit each wave start.
How this type of ticketing works
Cycling events usually split riders into categories, age groups, and wave starts. TixSimple's custom attendee fields let you collect all the details at checkout: category, gender, age, emergency contact, team name, and waiver agreement. Each ticket type can have its own cap and start time.
Riders receive a QR code by email and can add it to their phone wallet. At check-in, staff scan the QR code and verify the wave assignment. After the event, export the full rider list with all fields for timing, results, and next year's marketing.
