Free, and always will be

Going to the same start line? Let us help each other get race ready.

You are travelling to a race, your hair is long, and the start is at six in the morning. Find someone at the same event who can braid it, or offer to braid someone else's.

Strong strands. Strong starts.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose your race

    Search the calendar for the event you are travelling to, or add it if it is missing.

  2. 2

    Say what you need

    A few taps: when you are free, roughly where you will be, and what you are hoping for.

  3. 3

    See who fits

    We show people at the same race and say plainly why each one might work.

  4. 4

    Agree, then arrange

    Nothing private is shared until you both say yes. After that you sort out the time and place yourselves.
