Getting Started

Welcome to Quack Runners

Quack Runners is an AI-powered platform that automatically matches race photos to participants using bib number detection. This guide will help you get started whether you're an event organizer or a race participant.

What is Quack Runners?

Quack Runners revolutionizes how race photos are organized and distributed. Instead of manually sorting through thousands of photos, our AI automatically detects bib numbers in photos and matches them to registered participants. Participants can then easily find and download all their race photos by simply entering their bib number.

Upload Photos
Photographers upload race photos. Drag and drop folders or select individual files.
AI Detection
Our AI automatically detects and reads bib numbers visible in each photo.
Easy Access
Participants find their photos instantly by searching with their bib number.
