Frequently asked questions

Everything runners and organizers ask us most, grouped by topic.

For Runners

Do I need an account to register for a race?

No. Most events let you register with just your name, email and payment, no account required.

How do I know a marathon listed here is legitimate?

Organizers create and manage their own event listings on Find Your Finish. We don't personally inspect or certify every race the way a running federation might, so for an event or organizer you don't already know, it's worth checking their track record, social presence and past editions before registering, the same way you would on any listings platform.

When will I get my bib number?

Bib numbers are usually assigned by the organizer closer to race day, not at the time you register. Check your registration confirmation page for updates.

Can I transfer my registration to someone else?

That depends on the individual organizer's own policy, shown on the event page. Find Your Finish doesn't offer a built-in runner-to-runner transfer feature today, so this is entirely between you and the organizer.

What happens if the event I registered for is cancelled or postponed?

The event itself is organized and run by its organizer, not by Find Your Finish, so cancellation and postponement decisions are theirs to make and communicate. Cancellation and refund terms are set per event and shown on the event page. If an event is cancelled outright, contact the organizer directly following the terms shown there, or see our cancellation and refunds policy for how the process generally works.

Can I register a group or team in one checkout?

Yes. The registration form lets you add multiple runners, even across different categories, and pay for all of them in a single checkout.

For Organizers

How do I list my event?

Create an organizer account and set up categories, pricing, discount codes and a registration form in one dashboard. Our guide on organising a marathon in India walks through the full process.

How and when do I get paid?

Your confirmed registrations accumulate as a pending balance on your dashboard’s Payouts page, after Find Your Finish’s own commission is deducted. Find Your Finish transfers that balance to your bank account or UPI ID once it’s processed on our end.

What does Find Your Finish charge organizers?

A commission on confirmed registrations, currently 1.5% by default, plus GST on that commission, both deducted before your payout. This is separate from the runner-side platform fee added at checkout, which does not come out of your share. Your dashboard's Payouts page shows the exact breakdown.

Can I design my own race bibs?

Yes. The Bib Design tool on your event's dashboard lets you pick a layout, set a color per category, upload sponsor logos, and download a print-ready bib for each distance.

What if a runner wants a custom price or a negotiated discount?

For a general discount, set up a discount code for the category. For a one-off arrangement with a specific runner, you can add them manually from your event's Registrations tab with whatever amount you actually agreed on.

Payments & Fees

Why is there a platform fee added at checkout?

Find Your Finish adds a small convenience/platform fee (currently 2%) on top of the category price, similar to the convenience fee you'd see on most Indian event or ticketing platforms. It goes to Find Your Finish for running the platform, payments, hosting and support, and it's separate from the commission organizers pay on their own share.

Does GST apply to what I pay as a runner?

No. GST doesn't apply to your registration fee or the platform fee at checkout, you simply pay those two amounts. GST applies on Find Your Finish's side, to the commission we charge organizers, similar to how a service provider invoices GST to a business customer.

Is payment on Find Your Finish secure?

Yes. All payments are processed through Razorpay's secure checkout. Find Your Finish never stores your card, UPI or bank details directly.

Can I see a breakdown of what I paid?

Yes. Your checkout page, confirmation email and downloadable ticket all show the registration fee and platform fee as separate line items, plus the total.

Registration & Refunds

How do refunds work?

Refund and cancellation terms are set by each event’s organizer and shown on the event page. See our cancellation and refunds policy for how the process generally works.

I paid but didn't get a confirmation email. What now?

Check your spam folder first. You can also open your registration link directly (from your browser history, or the redirect after payment) to see its current status without needing the email at all. If it still shows as pending or you’re not sure what happened, contact us or the organizer.

I entered the wrong name, category or other details. Can it be fixed?

Contact the event's organizer directly, since they manage the attendee list for their own event. Minor corrections are usually possible before bib numbers are assigned.

Which cities does Find Your Finish cover?

Events are listed across India as organizers add them. Browse all upcoming events to see current cities and races.
