Finishers Memories

After several years working alongside the biggest organizers of races in France and internationally, a shared conclusion has emerged: photos are an essential part of today’s user experience ✅. Everyone wants to leave with a souvenir of the event, and photos are the best way to do that 🤌. However, between legislation, payment methods, file transfers, and finding photographers, it’s a real project—even for the most motivated organizers 💨. With Finishers Memories, you reduce it all to one link, one platform, and a centralized hub for all information ℹ️. So if you want to get ready on this topic, take a look at our benefits:

🔸 For organizers 🥸

The "Memories" offer was designed in collaboration with many race organizers to make providing personalized photos smoother and faster 😇. The tool aims to be as complete as possible and meets a whole range of specialized needs. And if you’d like to see new features added, you can always contact us to tell us about your project 🤗. One of the real advantages of Finishers Memories is how it works ⚙️. On the legal side, we’re fully compliant. Our system is entirely based on bib number recognition, not facial recognition ❌. No data about participants’ lovely faces or any other biometric data is therefore stored on the organizers’ side. Then, no need to rack your brain to find the most suitable photographer for the event—Finishers has a whole list to recommend 📋.

🔸 For photographers 📷

Collaborative work between multiple stakeholders has never been so simple 🤝. Photographers, organizers, and athletes share the same platform to upload, sell, and buy photos. Photographers are given exclusive access so they can upload their beautiful shots as quickly as possible. An intuitive tool and fair compensation—Finishers Memories is going to make people happy 😁.

🔸 For athletes 🏃

Finishers as a central hub: one entity that handles event promotion, ticketing, communications, posts the results from the last edition, and where you can find the best images of your effort 🤩. Nothing could be simpler. Plus, as stated above, no sensitive data is stored: no facial or biometric recognition—everything is done via the bib number 🎽. Runners just have to enter their bib number (or their partner’s if they want to see which one suffered the most 😂) and that’s it. All photos saved under that number appear instantly. No more hours of searching through Google Drives with over 10,000 photos 🤪.

With Finishers Memories, a whole new world opens up to you 🌍. A lighter, easier new mission, so you can fully focus on more important tasks that deserve all your attention—like aid stations and nutrition 🤤.
