Oncorun – Together for health! was established in 2008 and is the oldest oncology-themed charity running event in Poland. Its goal it to support oncological patients both financially and psychologically.
The initiator of Oncorun is the Sarcoma Association, with whom we have been working together for several years already.
To support the Association, we built a brand new Oncorun website which allows persons interested in participating in the event to register online.
A responsive template
The Oncorun website template was based on the Bootstrap framework which guarantees responsiveness and enables users to comfortably browse the website – regardless of the type of device that they use.
We ensured that even small smartphone screens will be able to correctly display all features of the website, including functions such as registration and personal data editing.
Engine and content management system
To build the website’s engine, we chose PHP and the Laravel framework. The solutions and modules that we chose had been tested in other projects, though certain functions of the website, like for example the ones related to the participation in the race, as well as the event itself, were created from the ground up.
We equipped the website with an easy-to-use, dedicated content management system, which provides the administrator with full control over the website content, including texts and photo galleries. It also allows the website administrator to organise new editions of Oncorun and process participation applications.
Payment processing
We have integrated PayU API payment processing into the platform.
This allows visitors to support cancer patients in several ways: by paying for their participation in Oncorun, adding a voluntary donation during registration, or making a one-time or recurring donation, regardless of whether they are participating in the event.
Support for multiple locations
As Oncorun continues to grow, we’ve introduced support for multiple locations on the platform ahead of the 17th edition. This means that, alongside the flagship event in Warsaw, partner races can now take place in Starachowice, Szczodre, or any other town that joins the initiative. For those unable to attend an organized race, there’s the option to order a starter pack and run their chosen distance at any location on the day of Oncorun.
Each race has its own landing page featuring a description, photo gallery, and answers to frequently asked questions.
