This New Year's Day 5K Race Registration template gives you everything you need to collect runner information, manage race logistics, secure fundraising commitments, and handle legal waivers—all in one streamlined form. Built for event organizers, charity directors, race coordinators, and fitness communities, this template turns complex race registration into a smooth, professional experience that gets people signed up and ready to run.

What makes Paperform perfect for race registration?

Paperform lets you create an on-brand registration form that matches your event's energy and your organization's identity. Mix participant questions with images, videos, and event details in our doc-style editor, then apply your race colors, fonts, and branding for a form that feels like part of your campaign—not a generic survey tool.

Handle payments and donations seamlessly with built-in Stripe, PayPal, or Square integration. Collect registration fees, optional fundraising donations, or merchandise purchases (like extra race shirts) with automatic calculations for totals and fees. You can even set up early-bird pricing or team discounts using conditional logic.

Collect digital signatures for race waivers directly in the form, giving you legally binding consent without printing a single piece of paper. If you need more complex liability documents, use Papersign to automatically generate and send customized waiver PDFs based on each registration, complete with eSignature collection and secure record-keeping.

Automate your race-day workflow with Stepper. When someone registers, automatically send them to different email sequences based on their wave preference, add them to your CRM or email tool, update your Google Sheet with t-shirt sizes for ordering, notify your volunteer coordinator about new sign-ups, and trigger day-of reminders with race bib numbers and parking info.

Whether you're managing 50 runners or 5,000, Paperform gives you the payments, signatures, automation, and branding control you need to make race registration feel effortless for both your team and your participants.

Trusted by event organizers, nonprofits, fitness brands, and community organizations worldwide, this template helps you launch your New Year's Day 5K with confidence and professionalism.
