Marathon Race Photo Platform for Organisers
Deliver race photos, finish-line clips, finisher certificates, and paid downloads at marathon volume. 9Pic AI helps race directors and photo partners cut manual bib tagging — runners find media by selfie, bib, partial bib, name, or QR without an app.
Photos are for illustration only.
Why race directors need more than a photo dump
Runners want proof of their finish while the event feeling is still fresh. Organisers lose that window when photo teams are stuck hand-tagging bibs and media is split across slow manual workflows.
Before: gallery hunting and manual handoffs
- Runners scroll through thousands of strangers to find a few photos.
- Photo teams manually tag BIBs, rename folders, and answer "where are my photos?" messages.
- Finish-line videos, certificates, and paid downloads sit outside the main gallery flow.
After: one branded discovery flow
- Runners search by selfie, BIB, partial BIB, name, QR, or gallery link.
- Photos, clips, finisher certificates, frames, and checkout stay in one event experience.
- The event brand and sponsor identity travel with every share.
One marathon media stack for organisers and photo partners
Go beyond basic gallery hosting: race photo tagging, runner discovery, video clips, finisher certificates, branded frames, and paid downloads in one event experience.
Race photo tagging & sharing
Use BibTrack race photo tagging software to auto-index bibs, then FaceFind for selfie search — runners find course, finish-line, podium, and medal photos without browsing every album.
Finish-line video sharing
Motion helps find each participant's moment inside long race footage so finish-line clips can become personal, shareable assets instead of archived video files.
Finisher certificate delivery
Certify keeps participation certificates inside the same post-race memory flow, reducing manual PDF handling and making achievement easy to share.
Sponsor-branded sharing
Buzz adds event frames, sponsor marks, finish data, hashtags, and branded layouts so every participant share carries the marathon identity.
Paid downloads and protected previews
Use Checkout and Stamp to sell high-resolution files after runners have already found the photos and clips they care about.
High-volume race uploads
Uplink supports large photographer handoffs and multi-checkpoint uploads so time-to-delivery starts before the manual sorting backlog grows.
How runners get their race media
Keep the first step simple for participants. The fastest race media experience is a QR code or link that opens a searchable, mobile-first gallery.
Upload race media
Photographers upload start, course, finish, podium, and celebration photos plus finish-line video footage.
Tag & index runners
BibTrack detects bibs and partial bibs; FaceFind indexes faces. Names, QR paths, clips, frames, and certificates join the same event graph.
Publish one link
Runners scan a QR code or open the event gallery, then search by selfie, BIB, name, or access link.
Share or buy
Participants download, share, purchase high-resolution files, collect certificates, or post branded race memories.
Privacy-aware discovery choices
FaceFind is useful when runners want selfie search. BibTrack, name search, QR access, and event links give marathon organizers alternatives when they prefer a no-biometric or identifier-first flow.

Answers for race directors, marathon photographers, timing partners, sponsors, and participant support teams.
Is 9Pic AI a marathon race photo platform for organisers?
Yes. 9Pic AI is a discovery-first event media platform for marathon organisers and photo partners: race photo tagging, photo sharing, video clips, finisher certificates, branded frames, and optional paid downloads.
How do you cut manual race photo tagging?
BibTrack auto-detects bibs so teams stop hand-tagging every frame. Runners then search by selfie, bib, partial bib, name when race data is available, QR, or gallery link.
Can races share finish-line videos?
Yes. 9Pic Motion helps extract participant moments from long event video so runners can receive personal finish-line clips and shareable race highlights.
Can runners get finisher certificates?
Yes. 9Pic Certify can deliver branded finisher certificates as part of the same race media flow, reducing manual certificate PDF handling.
What if a runner's BIB is hidden?
FaceFind and BibTrack work together. If a BIB is covered by a hand, hydration belt, rain jacket, or another runner, selfie search can still improve discovery.
Can marathon organizers sell race photos?
Yes. 9Pic Checkout supports high-resolution download sales after participants find their own media, with protected previews through 9Pic Stamp.
