Race Organisers:
If you are an event organiser and would like me to accept online entries for your race or are considering the benefits of online entry, please read on...
Benefits and features of UKForms Online Entry Service:
- Over 25,000 runners are currently registered with UKForms.
- We create an online entry form for your event which can be tailored to your events needs (T-shirt sizes, food options, estimated swim times etc).
- Your event is listed on both UKForms.net and UKResults.net.
- A graphical online entry link is provided for use on your website (if required).
- UKForms/UKResults will host a downloadable electronic copy of your paper race entry form.
- Race entries and secure online payments are accepted and processed on your behalf.
- We handle the majority of initial queries from entrants.
- An email is sent to every paid entrant which can be tailored to include specific event information/links.
- UKForms provides regular updates of entries received - organisers can check their latest entries from any computer with an internet connection 24/7.
- Handling and resolution of failed / duplicate payments.
- Individual refunds handled on your behalf following approval.
- Online entries can be closed as late as two days prior to the event itself to maximise potential entries.
- UKForms provides a final checked and verified csv file via email which contains all your entrants' details following online entry closure. This data is then sortable within MSExcel to suit your own requirements.
- More online entries = greatly reduced race day administration requirements = less hassle.
- A payment breakdown of the entries received and money due to club is provided. Payment of entry fees is usually made within 3-5 days following the event.
- A comprehensive set of terms and conditions helps to negate any disputes between entrant and organiser should they occur.
- Finally - UKForms offers a professional, yet personal - online event entry service.
Cost:
The cost to the event itself is usually free - you have nothing to lose! But don't just take my word for it...

Interested?
I can happily include online entries for most events. I will need you to submit a copy of your entry form and I'll then be in touch to discuss this further. Unfortunately, I can't answer any of your questions about online entry for any event without sight of the paper entry form.
Entry forms are preferred in Word or Acrobat pdf if possible. PLEASE, when you email your entry form, give it a meaningful name e.g. Bloggins 10k 2013 and not just Fun Run.doc or Entry form.doc
Additionally, files saved in odd formats such as Publisher or even Powerpoint are no good to me as I don't have the facility to view these and neither do a lot of other people.
Where should I send the entry form?
Please email your entry form to phil@ukforms.net and also cc the email to john@ukresults.net for inclusion on his results service website.
What happens next?
I will review the entry form (usually within 24 hours) and will be in touch to discuss it further.
For further information, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
