imATHLETE BRINGS INNOVATION TO THE METROPCS DALLAS MARATHON WITH LOYALTY CODE TECHNOLOGY
Unique offering gives race directors a turnkey solution to reward participant loyalty
Santa Monica, Calif. (April 8, 2014) - imATHLETE - a sports registration company that is changing the way event organizers engage with athletes - has been selected as the official registration partner for the MetroPCS Dallas Marathon. The event, which draws more than 25,000 participants, will be held on Sunday, December 14.
Following a 2013 event that was cancelled due to severe weather, the MetroPCS Dallas Marathon required a unique solution to reward those that didn't have the opportunity to run. imATHLETE's unique Loyalty Code functionality is allowing the 2013 participants to receive a special, personalized offer.
"We are proud to partner with imATHLETE as our registration provider," said Patrick Byerly, President of Dallas Marathon. "Their increased functionality, support and attentiveness to the needs of our organization sets them apart as a leader in the racing industry."
imATHLETE's Loyalty Code technology gives clients like the MetroPCS Dallas Marathon the ability to reward participants for doing multiple events, regardless of when the participants register. This provides race directors with the ability to reward participant loyalty without having to juggle excel spreadsheets and keep track of multiple discount codes.
Said Jeff Matlow, CEO of imATHLETE, "Not only does the MetroPCS Dallas Marathon have an impressive history, but their reaction to the 2013 cancellation proves a clear dedication to the happiness of their participants and the growth of the organization. We're ecstatic to be working with them and help further strengthen the relationship with their runners."
