RaceCapture · For gyms, organizers and photographers

Your HYROX sim runs eight stations, back-to-back heats and a few hundred athletes. The next morning every one of them wants two things: the photo of their wall balls and the clip of their sled push. RaceCapture puts your sim's photos and videos in one gallery where each athlete finds themselves with a single selfie. Setting it up is free.

Running a race or a competition instead of a sim? Here is how to host your event photos with facial recognition and bib search.

Why a HYROX sim needs more than a shared folder

A sim produces thousands of photos in a few hours, from back-to-back heats and stations that all look alike. A Google Drive link makes every athlete scroll through all of it. Doubles teams want the photos with both of them in them. And the best moments are often on video, which no photo folder handles well.

RaceCapture was built around exactly that kind of day. It hosts independent HYROX-style simulations and hybrid fitness races for gyms, clubs and photographers, mostly in Ontario and Québec.

What your athletes get

• Photos and videos from one selfie. An athlete uploads one clear photo of their face and gets a personal gallery of every photo they are in, plus every video clip they appear in, under My Videos. No account to create.
• Doubles search. Partners search together with a selfie each and get the photos with both of them.
• Bib number search, read automatically from your photos, for the frames where a face is behind a rower or a sandbag.
• A gallery that keeps filling. Upload during the sim or the day after; each athlete's gallery updates as your photos land, and they are emailed when new photos of them arrive.
• Free downloads or a fair price. You decide, event by event.

What you get as the host

• An event page with your name on it, your cover photo, your watermark and your logo, and one link to share with every athlete.
• Sections for heats, days or stations. Split the gallery into tabs like "Heat 1–4" or "Saturday", while one selfie search still covers the whole event.
• Your whole media team in one gallery. Invite your photographers with one link. Each upload is credited to the person who shot it, athletes can filter by photographer, and photos from several cameras line up by the time they were taken.
• Uploads that survive gym Wi-Fi. The uploader keeps going on a slow connection, renews expired upload links by itself and retries what failed. Photos up to 30 MB, video clips up to 2 GB.
• Your money, your Stripe. Sell all of an athlete's photos as a package, photos one by one, or videos and bundles. Once you connect Stripe, sales go straight to your own account. Free events get a tip button instead.
• Access for your sponsors. On Plus and higher plans, a password-protected page lets your gym, sponsors and social media team download photos and videos without buying them.
• The gallery on your own website. Every event comes with an embed code for your gym's site.
• One email to every athlete. When the photos are up, send one announcement from your registration list. The file is read in your browser and never stored, and every email carries an unsubscribe link.

HYROX-style sims already on RaceCapture

Ottawa ran a simulation almost every month in 2026, and most of them are on RaceCapture. A few galleries, with the counts on their pages today:

• HYROX Simulation – Carleton Ravens x 1855: 23,739 photos from one day.
• Ottawa Fitness League – Hybrid Fitness Event: 31,985 photos, the largest gallery on RaceCapture.
• City of OM – HYROX: 3,287 photos and 63 video clips, free for every athlete.
• DUUS – Drummondville: 9,510 photos from a two-day weekend in seven sections, one search for all of them.

Every Ottawa simulation gallery is on our Ottawa HYROX simulation photos page, and here is how to run a HYROX simulation at your gym.

What it costs

The Starter plan is free: no monthly fee and no credit card to start. When you sell photos and videos, we earn a small share of each sale, with no per-photo fees. Free galleries for your athletes are on every plan, Starter included. Paid plans lower that share and add storage and team features. The current numbers are on the sign-up page.

Set up your sim gallery in three steps

1. Create your free account and create the event: name, date, location, free or paid.
2. Upload your photos and videos, or invite your photographers to upload straight to the event.
3. Publish and share the link: on your Instagram, in your results email, on your gym's website.

Questions gyms ask

Is RaceCapture the official HYROX photographer?

No. RaceCapture is not affiliated with HYROX, and official HYROX races have their own photo partner. We host galleries for independent HYROX-style simulations and hybrid fitness events run by gyms, clubs and organizers.

Do I need my own photographer?

You bring the photographers and we take care of the rest: hosting, search, delivery and sales. Invite your team to the event, or book RaceCapture's own team.

Can athletes find their videos too?

Yes. The same selfie search looks through the video clips you upload, and matching clips appear in the athlete's gallery beside their photos.

When can athletes see their photos?

As soon as you upload them. Galleries go live as photos land, so when you upload during the sim, athletes searching on their phones see their gallery grow while the heats are still running.

What happens to athletes' selfies?

A selfie is used only to find that athlete's photos and is deleted within 30 days. Here is the plain-words version.

We also run CrossFit competitions. Same thing?

Yes. Here is how boxes host their CrossFit competition photos.
