How selfie search works

  1. 1

    Find your race

    Search the catalog and open the event if it is listed. Published coverage and available search options appear on the event page.

  2. 2

    Upload one selfie

    Where event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow it, the race photo page can offer a one-time consented selfie search against eligible published photos.

  3. 3

    Review likely matches

    Search can return likely eligible published matches; missed and false matches are possible. Review any result before choosing a one-time license.

When a bib is not visible

Bib search can miss photos when a bib is covered, twisted, or cropped out. Where event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow it, selfie search may return likely eligible published matches without a visible bib; missed and false matches are possible. Each eligible event page shows the search methods that event supports.

Questions

How do I find my race photos with a selfie?
Find your race in the PodiumBase catalog and open its photo page. Where event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow one-time selfie search, the matching engine compares your face with eligible published photos from that event and may return likely matches; missed and false matches are possible.
Can I find race photos without a bib number?
Where the event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow it, selfie search does not need your bib number. It can return likely matches even if your bib was covered, twisted, or cropped out of the shot. If you prefer, you can still search by bib number instead.
Is uploading a selfie safe? What happens to my photo?
One-time search deletes the selfie image and does not retain a derived face signature. If you choose an eligible account enrollment, the image is deleted after processing and a derived face signature is stored under active consent for supported future matching. A separate pre-account QR enrollment has its own disclosure and can retain the selfie and face print for matching at covered events for up to five years. You can request deletion sooner or sign in with the same verified email to link and manage the enrollment.
How much does it cost to find my photos?
Searching available event galleries does not require an athlete subscription. Any purchase price and license terms appear on the photo or offer before checkout and vary by event and photographer.
When do photos appear after a race?
Publication timing varies by event and photographer. If nothing appears yet, check back as eligible coverage is published or request an available photo update.
Which races does PodiumBase cover?
PodiumBase covers a growing list of running, cycling, and multi-sport events. Browse the race catalog and open an event page to see which gallery, bib, or consented selfie methods that event supports.
