Case Study: Rat Race streamlines multi-terrain event planning with OnePlan Events

How Man vs Coast Designs Unique Events on OnePlan

Rat Race, the organizer of the annual Man vs Coast event in Cornwall, needed a better way to plan and manage a demanding 22-mile land-and-sea race for 2,500 participants. After relying on non-specialist tools like PowerPoint and Google Maps, the team turned to OnePlan Events to improve route planning, crowd control, and stakeholder coordination across multiple event areas.

Using OnePlan, Rat Race created a single, accurate event plan covering infrastructure, traffic management, crowd flow, car parks, campsites, and medical staffing. OnePlan Events helped the team collaborate more easily with suppliers, volunteers, and partners, save time, reduce risk, and improve on-site execution, while also enabling live tracking of medics and real-time incident reporting.
