If you’ve ever run a marathon, 5K, or charity walk, you know the feeling: you crushed your personal record, crossed the finish line smiling, and then… nothing. You wait days (sometimes weeks) for a professional photographer to send you one or two blurry photos—if you're lucky.


What about all the other moments? The cheering crowd, the pre-race jitters, the smiles with friends at the finish line?


Most of those race day photos are never seen again. But Youie is changing that.


Youie: The Free Way to Collect Race Day Photos in Real Time

Youie is a completely free, real-time photo-sharing app built specifically to make sure no race day memory is missed. Whether you're organizing a marathon, triathlon, Ironman, 10K, or charity walk, Youie gives every participant and spectator the ability to upload and view photos in a shared event gallery—as they happen.


No more chasing people for photos after the event.No more paying $50 for a single watermarked image. No more lost moments.


Perfect for Any Type of Endurance Event

Youie is built to work for any kind of race or fitness event, including:

  • Marathons

  • Half-Marathons

  • Triathlons

  • Ironman Races

  • 5K / 10K Fun Runs

  • Obstacle Races (Spartan, Tough Mudder, etc.)

  • Charity Walks and Runs

If people are gathering and taking photos, Youie works.


How It Works: One QR Code. Every Photo.

Setting up Youie for your race or event is incredibly simple:

  1. Create your event in the Youie app.

  2. Receive a custom QR code and event link.

  3. Share the QR code far and wide—on your website, registration pages, social media, race bibs, signage, or anywhere participants will see it.

  4. Guests scan the code, upload photos, and instantly see everyone else’s uploads in real time.

It’s that easy.
