Stop running your club out of seven WhatsApp groups.
AltCrew gives community organizers the tools to run a club without spreadsheets, group-chat chaos, or three different apps duct-taped together. Free to run your club. Paid events pay a small commission on ticket sales. Nothing else.
If you captain a run club, teach yoga out of a park, run a weekend HIIT crew, or coach a neighbourhood pickleball ladder, you already do the hardest part: showing up, week after week, and getting other people to show up with you. The boring part, the admin, is what burns most organizers out long before the community does.
AltCrew handles the boring part. Schedules in one place. RSVPs that you can actually trust. Waivers signed once and reused across every event a member ever joins. A photo album that opens at the meet, stays open for twenty-four hours, and gives your members something to share. Pace pairings done in seconds instead of in your head at 5:30 AM.
Sixty members, one captain, twenty minutes a week.
Picture a captain of a sixty-member run club. Three pace groups. A Saturday long run, a Tuesday tempo session, a Thursday recovery jog. Before AltCrew, that is one calendar invite, two WhatsApp groups, a Google Form for waivers, a shared Drive of photos nobody ever opens, and a Notes app full of names with question marks next to them.
After AltCrew, it is one screen. The captain posts the Saturday run on Sunday night. Members RSVP in the app. New joiners sign a waiver once, ever; it follows them to every event they ever attend with any crew that uses AltCrew. Pace groups auto-suggest based on each runner’s recent kilometres logged. The post-run Flash Album opens the moment the run starts and closes twenty-four hours later, so people actually post their photos that day instead of saving them for “later.”
Twenty minutes a week of admin instead of three hours. And, more importantly, members who keep coming back because the experience between events feels as cared-for as the events themselves.
A 5K race captain, four weeks out, no spreadsheets.
A first-time race captain wants to put on a 200-runner 5K on a beachside boulevard. Course mapped, sponsors lined up, permits in flight. The work that actually breaks first-time hosts is everything between “event live” and “runners standing at the start line.” Tickets, waivers, RSVPs, day-of check-in, last-minute weather updates, the recap. Most captains stitch this together across a ticketing site, a Google Form, a printed bib list, a shared photo folder, and a panicked late-night message thread. Half of the work happens twice. Some of it never happens at all.
On AltCrew, the captain spins up the event in the same app her crew already uses. Free tier or paid tier, capacity cap, members-only window for the first 48 hours, then open registration. Custom waiver appears on signup; everyone signs it once, then never sees it again. Pre-event broadcast goes to all RSVPs in one tap on race-eve when the start time shifts by fifteen minutes. Day-of, the volunteers check runners in by tapping a name on a tablet rather than hunting through a printed sheet. The Flash Album opens at the gun, every runner drops in their photos, and the recap page generates itself by Sunday evening with finishers, photos, and a one-tap link to the next event.
Four weeks out, total admin time is under five hours spread across the month — most of it spent on the parts that actually need a human, like sponsor coordination and route safety. The recap doubles as the marketing for the next race. Hosts who run their second event on AltCrew sell it faster than the first, because the proof is already on the recap page.
