SAN DIEGO, CALIF. — November 21, 2013 — The ACTIVE Network, Inc., the leader in cloud-based Activity and Participant Management™ (APM) solutions, has proudly powered more than 100,000 marathon runners across the finish line since the start of the fall 2013 marathon season. ACTIVE Network is the technology partner to four of the 10 largest marathons in the US. Among the largest fall marathons, the Portland Marathon celebrated its 41st anniversary in October with more than 9,300 participants.
“Over the last eight years, ACTIVE Network has provided a technology solution to help seamlessly integrate the management of participants for our Marathon events as well as the Event Director College Series and Symposiums, which has allowed us to build the best experiences for the running community and race event organizers,” added Les Smith, Event Director, Portland Marathon. “As part of our Event Directors Conference, I’m often asked why Portland Marathon uses ACTIVE for our Event. I simply cite ACTIVE’s ability to make us feel like they’re part of our team, 24/7."
“Marathons continue to be a coveted milestone for runners, but the popularity of other race categories such as the half marathon and Portland’s Kids’ Fun Run have also evolved through the years to bring together family and friends,” said Eric McCue, general manager of sports, ACTIVE Network. “Increasingly, race directors have the opportunity to involve even more people from their communities by adding different race categories that appeal to a variety of levels and enhance the overall experience.”
