Introduction to DistantRace

DistantRace is a multifunctional platform that integrates with sports applications to create challenges and competitions for companies, clubs, and friends.

To create events, you need a club (organization) on DistantRace. A club can be a company name, event brand, or personal organizer name.

DistantRace also provides an API for integrations — for example connecting to a company HR system.
