Data Insights
As Substr grows, we’ll share analytics on race entry substitutions and the secondary ticket market across South Africa’s road races.
Current Trends
We’re building a transparent view of the running world, especially around race entry substitutions and sold‑out tickets.
Rapid sell outsÂ
Races are selling out faster as runners register early to avoid missing out. The flip side is that early commitments lead to more withdrawals later, driving higher substitution demand.
Running boom
Growing interest in running signals future demand and a likely rise in substitutions.
Social media trends
Social media shows strong substitution demand, with runners publicly asking for swaps and warning about scams. These trends highlight the need for safer, verified substitution options.
Timing gap
Most runners only realise a few days before race day that they can’t run, but substitution windows close much earlier. Timing gaps like this lead to wasted entries.
