EAU CLAIRE MARATHON SHOUT OUT BOARD

This is for submitting “shout out” videos of encouragement which will play when participants pick up their bib at the Expo on Saturday and as they pass the video board on the course Sunday.

You can record a video for your friend, coworker, relative, etc.

Here is an example of the participant experience.

    • We are proud of you!

    • Go “Name” Go!

    • You’ve Got This!

    • We believe in you!

    We do recommend using your participant’s first name in your video. This will help attract their attention as they pass the video board. You may tell them in advance to expect a video, or leave it as a surprise.

    1. Click Shout out video

    2. When you visit the site, you must give it permission to access your camera in order to record a video. The site will only have permission to record while it is open.

    3. Search for a participant by name and select them from the search results. Only registered participants will appear in the search results.  For relay teams, search by participant name and not team name. 

    4. Choose “Record”.

    5. You will be shown a live image from your device camera.  Select the red record button to record your 5-10 second message. 

    6. When you finish your message, stop recording.  Select Retake to re-record, or Use Video to continue.

    7. Choose the green “Upload” button to upload your video.  

    8. You will be shown a submission confirmation page. 

  • Two different locations:

    Location 1:  After you pick up your bib at the Eau Claire Marathon Expo presented by Stifel on Saturday.

    Location 2: The video will be played on the ECM Shout Out Board right after the S Bridge, before miles 22.5 for the Full Marathon and 9.4 for the Half Marathon. 

    Videos will be triggered when the participant crosses timing system mats prior to the video board. 

    Because there may be many participants with submitted videos passing the board simultaneously, it may not be possible to show everyone’s video.  

  • You can record a video for anyone participating.

    To see what their experience will be like as they pass the video board visit a Shout Out Board example. 

    Note: By submitting a video, you agree that Eau Claire Marathon may use the video for future race promotions. 

  • Search by last name or full name.  You can also search by partial name.  

    What if I cannot find my participant in the list?

    Participant data is being updated as new registrations and changes are received, it might take a few days for recent entries to show up in the search, please check back. 

    Email us at info@eauclairemarathon.com if you continue to have issues.

  • The recording must be 5 to 10 seconds long. This gives long enough to get your participant’s attention, but not so long that other videos don’t have time to play.

  • Yes, the Eau Claire Marathon staff will review all videos submitted. Any video with foul or offensive language or show anything that’s deemed inappropriate will not be shown on race day.

  • Video submissions will be accepted until 8 PM CDT on Saturday, April 26th, 2025.

  • No. The videos will only be played at the event when the participant passes the video board, if there is a time slot available. They will not be available online before/after/during the event.

  • Videos must be recorded using the submission website.  In order to control video length, quality, format, etc. we can’t accept uploaded video files.


  • Both iPhone and Android are supported, although you may need the most updated version.
