Referral Program
How it works:
- When you register for your race you are given a unique link to the Mankato Marathon Race Roster Registration page.
- The confirmation page and email prompt you to share this link with your friends via Facebook, Twitter, and Email.
- When someone clicks on the unique link and registers for the Mankato Marathon, Race Roster recognizes that you referred someone to sign up for the race and automatically credits you Race Roster account with $5.
- Funds earned are reflected in your Race Roster account and when you reach $15 worth of referrals from your race or any other race on the Race Roster platform the referral funds are paid out to you by check.
If you have questions about our referral tool, please reach out to Customer Success at director@raceroster.com and a member of our team would be happy to assist you.
