American Multi-Sport
Steven Tomboni is the founder and CEO of America Multi-Sport, Inc., which plans and executes endurance events in the Muncie, Indiana area. In addition to connecting with his ACTIVE account manager once a week, Steven relies on 25 years of experience and planning more than 1,000 events to get things right. His team spends months in research and development before launching an event and the endurance community is quick to show support. “We love what we do and the athletes know it,” Steven says. It shows, with early race registrations for the annual cold-weather Viking Winter Dash growing from non-existent for 2016 to more than 30 for the 2017 race, which opened more than a year in advance. When it came to partnering with ACTIVE – which they’ve used since 1999 - it’s about one thing: “Trust.” Looking forward, Steven sees a continued partnership with ACTIVE: “We want your leadership to train our staff to implement all the upgrades for maximum effect.”

USA Triathlon
USA Triathlon is the national governing body for triathlon in the United States. For more than five years, USAT has been a partner with ACTIVE, using our innovative software and hardware, including ACTIVEWorks Endurance, to increase registrations. “For us, it’s ideal to streamline one platform across the organization for all events in order to realize economies of scale and staff efficiencies,” said Chuck Menke, chief marketing officer. With almost 500,000 members, USAT needed a quick and easy way to process registrations, payments and check-ins for events, clinics, races and more. With the use of On-Site during event day, “it allows for us to pull information quickly and effectively, cutting down on the amount of time someone waits in line to check-in.” Looking to the future of endurance events, USAT continues to leverage experience from ACTIVE’s account managers and technical support team, while focusing on upcoming technological breakthroughs. “ACTIVE has been a driving force in continuing to push the technology curve,” said Menke.
