For race directors

Reunite runners
with their gear.

dropbags.io turns a post-race pile of unclaimed drop bags into a clean work queue for ops and a one-tap choice for runners.

Run it at your race →
Step 1
Upload participant list
Import a CSV of your entrants from any registration platform. That's your match-set and contact directory.
Step 2
Photograph each bag
One photo per bag, bib number up. Claude Vision reads the bib and matches it to the list.
Step 3
Notify runners
One message per matched runner with a link to their bag and 3 simple choices.
Step 4
Work the queue
Ship, pickup, or donate. Work each queue down. Unclaimed bags auto-dispose after your deadline.

Bib-tag vision matching

Snap one photo per bag. Claude reads the bib off the tag and matches it against your participant list automatically.

Scan the whole pile

One race, every distance, shared bib range. Scan the entire pile in one session with no switching contexts mid-stack.

One-tap runner choices

Matched runners get a link to a photo of their own bag and 3 choices: ship it back (runner pays shipping), pick it up, or donate it.

Clean ops queues

Every response lands in a work queue: ship, pickup, or donate. Work each down with no inbox and no guesswork.

Deadline reminders and auto-dispose

Non-responders get an automatic nudge before the deadline. Unclaimed bags roll to donation or release when time runs out.

QR self-checkin at pickup

Runners scan the QR on their bag tag to check out at pickup. No slip required — they can also confirm from their phone.
