Use clear angles for visible BIBs where possible and frontal shots where selfie search will be important. ### After Upload Use [FaceFind](/products/facefind/) and [BibTrack](/products/bibtrack/) together so runners can search by selfie, BIB, partial BIB, or name. ### Race-Day Edge Cases BIBs may be covered by hands, hydration belts, rain jackets, or other runners. Faces may be hidden by sunglasses, caps, masks, motion blur, or side profiles. Using both FaceFind and BibTrack improves discovery coverage. ### Revenue and Follow-Up For paid races, add [Checkout](/products/checkout/) for high-resolution downloads, [Motion](/products/motion/) for participant clips, and [Certify](/products/certify/) for finisher certificates. ### Related Marathon Resources For a broader implementation path, use [How It Works](/how-it-works/), [Pricing](/pricing/), [Case Studies](/case-studies/), and the [QR Code for Marathon Photos](/blog/qr-code-marathon-photos/) guide.
