AccioPix turns marathon and sports photo sharing into a one-step process. Race organizers or photographers upload all the race photos, and runners scan a QR code or click a link. After sending a selfie to our WhatsApp bot, the AI instantly finds every action shot they appear in and delivers them directly. Matching works on faces, not bib numbers — so it finds the shots where the bib is folded, covered, or out of frame.
Vibrant Race Day Delivery
Upload the marathon album once. AI handles matching and sends runners their photos automatically. No sorting by category or wave.
Selfie Search Over Bib Sorting
One selfie on WhatsApp. AI instantly delivers every photo they're in. Even if a bib is obscured, face recognition gets the shot.
Live Marathon Photos
Deliver photos live, while runners are still crossing the finish line. Watch their social media feeds light up with your race branding.
Built for local marathons, 5Ks, cycling events, and sports tournaments. No subscription, credits never expire.
For race organizers, delivering 20,000 photos to 1,000 runners was a logistical nightmare. Now, runners get their action shots on WhatsApp before they even leave the finish arena.
Runners share their photos on Instagram and Strava the same day — while the race hashtag is still trending, which is exactly the visibility sponsors pay for.
Traditional bib searching is slow and often misses photos where the bib is folded or covered. AI facial recognition matches the runner perfectly every time.
They click your unique WhatsApp link or scan a QR code at the finish line, send a selfie, and our AI instantly sends back every photo they appear in. It takes seconds!
Does it work if the bib number is covered or muddy?
Yes! Traditional race photo platforms search by bib numbers, which fails if the bib is folded, dirty, or obscured. AccioPix matches by face instead, so runners are found accurately regardless of bib visibility.
How does this help our race sponsors?
Speed. Runners receive their photos while the race is still trending, so sponsor-branded arches, banners, and finish-line backdrops in those photos hit Instagram and Strava the same day — not weeks later when the moment has passed.
Do runners need WhatsApp?
The event link itself works anywhere — you can print it as a QR on bibs and banners, text it, or put it on the race website. Runners then interact through WhatsApp to send their selfie and receive photos; that's where delivery happens.
Does matching work with running sunglasses and caps?
Matching is highly accurate for clear photos, and caps are usually fine. Dark sunglasses can occasionally affect a match — runners get the best results by sending a clear, front-facing selfie, and they can always retry if a shot seems missing.
How it works
How does AccioPix compare to other race photo platforms?
Most race photo platforms require runners to go through complex websites, input credit cards, or search manually. AccioPix is WhatsApp-first, so runners just send a selfie in chat and get their photos instantly. It's the most friction-free method available.
What if a runner isn't in any photos?
They will receive a polite message on WhatsApp stating that no matches were found. They can always try again with a clearer selfie if they believe they were photographed.
How long are the race photos stored?
Photos are stored for one year by default. You can extend storage anytime or download the whole archive before deletion.
How fast is delivery for a big race?
For events under 1,000 photos, runners get their shots in seconds. Larger sets (3,000+ photos) take around 15–30 seconds while the AI scans the full gallery. A single event supports up to 20,000 photos.
What happens to the selfies runners send?
Each selfie is used once for matching and then immediately deleted — never stored, never used to train AI models, never shared. Only the race photos you uploaded are kept. That matters for participants who never signed a photo policy.
