endurace.pro vs IndiaFitClub: Which Is Better for Race Organizers?

endurace.pro vs IndiaFitClub: an honest comparison for race organizers

IndiaFitClub publishes its organizer terms clearly, and its headline fee is lower than ours in some setups. The real question is what that lower fee costs elsewhere: credits up front, a separate gateway charge, or a payout after the event. We are endurace.pro, so we are not neutral, but every IndiaFitClub figure below comes from its own pages, read on 13 November 2026.

Why race organizers choose endurace.pro

  • No platform fee on your first event. You pay only payment gateway charges (around 1% to 2%, usually lower with UPI). After that it is a flat 5.99% with no other charges.
  • Going live is free. There is no listing or setup fee, and you pay only when you sell.
  • Money before race day. Withdraw half your sales on demand before the event; the rest arrives three days after.
  • Refunds handled for you. Cancel an event and every athlete is refunded in full, automatically.
  • Built for races. Distances, waivers, groups, waitlists, bibs and check-in are part of the product, not workarounds.

What it costs

endurace.pro: Your first event has no platform fee, though payment gateway charges apply (around 1% to 2%, and usually lower when athletes pay by UPI). After that it is a flat 5.99% per entry with no other charges. There is no limit on participants, and every tool is included from your first event.

IndiaFitClub: there is no setup fee, and free events cost nothing. On your own Razorpay account the fee is 2.5% of each paid entry, paid in advance by buying registration credits, and Razorpay’s own charge comes out of your settlement. If IndiaFitClub collects the entries instead, it keeps 5% of each paid entry from your payout and carries the card and UPI charges.

A ₹1,000 entry, side by side

  • endurace.pro, first event: the athlete pays ₹1,000. There is no platform fee, only payment gateway charges of around 1% to 2%, usually lower with UPI. That is roughly ₹10 to ₹20.
  • endurace.pro, after the first event: a flat 5.99% per entry with no other charges. That is ₹59.90, leaving ₹940.10.
  • IndiaFitClub, your own Razorpay account: 2.5% of ₹1,000 is ₹25, paid in advance as credits. Razorpay’s own charge comes on top, and we did not find a figure for it.
  • IndiaFitClub, collected model: 5% of ₹1,000 is ₹50, kept from your payout.

A first event with 300 entries at ₹1,000: IndiaFitClub’s collected model is 300 × ₹50 = ₹15,000. On endurace.pro there is no platform fee on a first event, so you pay the gateway charge alone, around 1% to 2% of ₹3,00,000, which is roughly ₹3,000 to ₹6,000.

Your athletes pay the ticket price, nothing more

On endurace.pro athletes pay exactly the ticket price. We add no booking fee and no convenience fee, which keeps your entry price clean and your checkout honest.

Get paid before race day

Permits, medals, timing and shirts are paid for long before race day. On endurace.pro, once your payout details are verified, half of your sales can be withdrawn on demand before the event, and the rest is paid three days after. IndiaFitClub’s collected model prepares your payout every Monday for events that finished at least three days earlier.

If you have to cancel, we make it painless

Cancel an event and every athlete is refunded in full, automatically, including unclaimed group places. Each person gets one email with your reason and their refund, and you follow every refund on one screen: Waiting for balance, Being paid, Refunded. No commission is charged on those refunds. IndiaFitClub’s policy says refund terms are set by each organizer, and entries are non-refundable by default; if an organizer cancels, the organizer contacts entrants.

Everything you need to run the race, built in

This is where endurace.pro earns its fee. Every tool below is included from your first event, with no limit on participants.

Set up in an afternoon

Build your event with a cover, gallery, schedule, FAQs and social links, then share an unpublished preview link with your team before you go live. Our team reviews each event before it is published, so athletes see a clean, trusted listing.

Distances, tickets and prices

Offer a 5K, 10K and half marathon in one event, in km or miles, each with its own price and capacity. Add early-bird tiers with opening and closing dates, hidden tickets for VIPs, clubs or sponsors that unlock with a code or link, and promo codes with limits you control.

A registration form made for races

A mobile-first form collects name, phone, date of birth, gender, T-shirt size, blood group and emergency contact, checked on the phone and again on the server. Add your own questions per distance, including a time question that rejects anything that is not a time, such as an expected finish of 52:10.

Waivers with proof

Every registration keeps the signed name, the time and the exact waiver wording, even if you change the text later. If anyone ever asks who agreed to what, you have the record.

Groups, families and sold-out distances

Athletes can book several people on mixed tickets and pay once. You set the largest group per ticket, from 2 to 25, so one buyer cannot take the whole field. A place nobody claims goes back on sale, and the waitlist, on by default, offers it first to whoever has waited longest, with a 24-hour hold.

Payments that recover

Checkout handles failed or abandoned payments automatically, confirms a successful payment within seconds, and issues a PDF receipt for each paid booking. Athletes manage their bookings, resume a payment or cancel with a refund preview, all in My Bookings.

Emails that work for you

Athletes get automatic emails for bookings, refunds, cancellations and waitlist offers. You can also write your own messages to any athletes you select, such as a reminder about kit collection.

Race day without the chaos

Search and filter your registration list, export it to CSV with each runner’s blood group and emergency contact for your medical team, assign bib numbers and check in every person, including each member of a group. Add manual entries for people who register offline.

Money, reports and your team

See earnings, refunds, payouts and commissions for your organization in one place. Invite your team as owner, admin, moderator, financial or viewer, so everyone sees only what their role allows.

Be found by new athletes

Approved events appear on endurace.pro, with search-friendly pages by country, city and sport and tools for athletes to search, find races near them, save events and browse a calendar. Every organizer gets a branded page at endurace.pro/organizers listing all their races, plus a CRM of their athletes across events and tracking links that show which channel brought each registration. Athlete reviews, moderated by our team, build trust for your next edition.

Run it again next year

Link yearly editions of the same race into a series, so your history builds credibility and your athletes come back.

Quick verdict

If you want a platform built for endurance races, with money before race day, automatic full refunds if you cancel, and waivers, groups, waitlists, bibs and check-in built in, endurace.pro is the stronger choice. A lower headline fee is worth little if your money arrives after the event and refunds are left to you.

Questions to ask any race platform

  • What do athletes pay at checkout, in total, for a ₹1,000 entry?
  • When do I get my money, and can I draw any of it before race day?
  • If I cancel the event, who refunds the athletes, and who pays the fees?
  • Does it store waivers, emergency contacts and bibs?

What we checked

We read these pages on 13 November 2026: IndiaFitClub’s homepage, pricing page and refund and cancellation policy. Terms change, so please confirm them on the platform’s own pages. Where a page did not state something, we say so instead of guessing.

Summary graphic: seven reasons race organizers choose endurace.pro: no platform fee on your first event, no listing fee, money before race day, automatic refunds if you cancel, waivers, groups and waitlists built in, bibs, check-in and exports, and being found by new athletes.
