Fedorowski encouraged race directors not to stop at the registration option, but look deeper at how they can foster inclusivity.
“If a nonbinary participant shows up to your event and is misgendered, or they have to decide between men’s or women’s spaces or apparel, that experience suddenly becomes very harmful,” said Fedorowski. “The work to create even just the registration option is now all of a sudden outweighed by this negative experience.”While RunSignup can’t directly impact the on-site race day experience, the company actively advocates for inclusivity.
“We have an annual symposium in July where we made a big point of this feature,” Bickel said. “The message we brought to race directors at this meeting was: This is a way to grow your race. This is a way to not even just attract nonbinary runners, but also show that you care to a new generation of runners—that you’re thinking forward, not backward.”
RunSignup has made updates on the software side, too. The development team recently added a search filter so users can sift for races that offer nonbinary registration. The company will also reinforce their race renewal feature to provide feedback on how to improve a race for its next iteration. For example, if a race director decides not to include a nonbinary division, the software recommends adding one for the next race.
