Race photo links
The event’s photos sit where runners are already looking
The photographer sends the album on race evening and you post the link straight away. Two days later the post is buried under the results announcement and the sponsor thank-yous.
So "where are the photos" comes back to you one person at a time, in comments, your inbox and LINE groups. Runners who entered through a friend’s link never followed your page and never see the post at all, so the photos reach fewer people than they should.
Our team puts the links of the photographers you chose next to the results button on your event page and in the post-race thank-you email, so runners find the photos where they already check their results. List as many photographers as you like, at no extra charge.
What this service does for you
- 1
Send the album link once
You arrange your photographer as usual, and when the album is open for viewing you send us the link to add. Nobody has to edit a website, wait for an update cycle or configure anything.
- 2
A button appears on the event page
The "Event photos" button sits in the same row as the results button, on the page runners already open after the race, and goes straight to the photographer’s site. No hunting for links and no scrolling back through your page.
- 3
The post-race email leads to the same place
The thank-you email sent to everyone who entered through RunLah carries a photos button next to the results link — so people who never followed your page and never came back to the event page still get the link in their hands.

Several photographers, all shown, at no cost
Events with more than one photography team can list them all, each with its own button in a row, and runners choose which site to visit. We create the links for every one of them free of charge, with no requirement to use any particular provider.
How organizers use it
Stop answering "where are the photos" one message at a time
Once the photos live on the page runners already open for results, most of those questions never reach your inbox — and the few that do are answered by pointing back to the same page.
People who remember later can still find them
A post on your page sinks over time; the event page stays where it is and remains findable on Google. Someone who wants photos at the end of the month, or while putting together a year-end album, can come back and find them without asking anyone.
Reaching runners who never followed your page
Plenty of runners found the race through a link from a friend and never followed your page at all. The way to reach them is the results page and an email sent directly to them — which is exactly where these links sit.
Choose your own photographers, with nothing tied in
You pick photographers on their work, price and terms, entirely as you like. RunLah does not offer a photography service and does not require any particular provider — send us whichever links you want, however many.
Photographers get the most relevant entry point there is
The people clicking through are the ones who just ran the race, not people scrolling past. Events negotiating a revenue share or a package with a photographer have something concrete to point at: exactly where the link will appear.
Frequently asked questions
Does RunLah take or host the photos?
We do not offer a photography service. The photos live on the site of the photographer you chose and contracted. What we do is put that link where runners are already looking — the event page and the post-race email.
Can runners search by bib number or by face?
That depends on what the photographer’s own site offers, because the searching happens there rather than on RunLah. The button on the event page only gets people to that site.
How many photographers can we list, and do they have to be approved by RunLah?
As many as you like, and any of them. Each gets its own button in a row on the event page and in the email. RunLah does not offer photography, so there is no preferred provider and nothing tied to anyone.
Can the link be changed or added later?
Yes — tell us and we will change or add it, and the event page points to the new link immediately. Emails already sent will still lead to the link that was in the system when they went out.
Can the button be scheduled to appear when the photos are ready?
Not yet — the button appears as soon as the link is in the system. So the usual practice is to send the link once the album is open for viewing, to avoid runners clicking through to an empty page.
Is there an extra charge?
None. Events taking entries with RunLah get the button on the event page and in the post-race email, however many photographers are listed. Photography fees and print prices are strictly between you and the photographer.

Results & rankings
Results appear the moment a runner crosses the line, with splits and category rankings across every distance, plus an individual result page that can be shared and looked up long afterwards.
Ratings & surveys (NPS)
A thank-you email brings runners back to their results, their photos and a rating form, which becomes a score per category you can compare across distances and across years.
