Perth City to Surf 2006
Activ's City to Surf is the largest community sporting event in Western Australia and the second
largest of it's kind in Australia. In 2006 this event had over 26,000 participants.
Register Now provided a custom online registration and database management system that powered
the registration process for this event. The online registration system included individual,
team, and family entries as well as payment processing, administration functions and MS Excel
based reporting.
The online registration system allowed participants to register for the event, make secure credit
card payments online, and login to change their registration details. Team captains were able to
manage registration information and make payments on behalf of their team members. Call centre staff
were able to view, edit and delete registration details through a secure administration facility only
accessible to the event organisers.
As part of the event, a Health, Lifestyle and Fitness Expo was held in the Perth Convention centre
where race participants collected showbags and timing devices for the event. Register Now provided
a registration system to allocate rack packs and process walk up registrations. During a three
day period, all participants were processed through the registration system at the Expo.
Portable credit card / EFTPOS terminals were used at the expo to provide card payment services in
addition to cash.
The registration system used for the 2006 was a resounding success. Register Now successfully provided
registration services for the event to the satisfaction of the client. Over 26,000 people registered
using our system including more than 880 online payments in one day.
