In a race with about 1,600 athletes and kit pickup squeezed into a few hours, the bottleneck was not the water or the asphalt: it was the line to prove who is who. Identity began to be resolved before the start.
A manual-check line is lost time and fraud risk.
In an endurance race with kit pickup squeezed into a few hours, manual document checks are what slows the line the most — and also where identity fraud (a borrowed bib, a transferred registration) is easiest to slip through unnoticed.
Manual document checks are what slows the line the most.
Identity resolved before the race begins.
01Identity resolved before the race
Athletes complete onboarding and biometrics on their phone before arriving at the event — document read and validated, biometrics enrolled, health declaration signed, all outside the line.
02Kit pickup by facial recognition
At the accreditation tent, the athlete is identified by their face — no searching for a name on a list or checking a document by hand for every handover.
03A journey visible to the whole operation
The team sees, athlete by athlete, what is already done (biometrics, signed waiver, kit pickup, bike check-in, etc.), with the operation’s performance data in a single dashboard.
What changed in practice.
Identity confirmed before the race, not in the start-line queue.
Facial recognition replacing manual document checks, athlete by athlete.
Bibs and registrations are now tied to a biometrically confirmed identity, not just a name on a list.
