LES SPORTIFS

What LES SPORTIFS does

Le-Sportif.com, operated by StudioDev SARL, is a privately held French internet portal founded in October 2002 by Régis Rosenstiehl and headquartered in Molsheim, France. The platform aggregates an endurance-sports event calendar across more than 80 disciplines — including running, trail, triathlon, cycling, mountain biking, walking, rollerblading and water sports — and is available in six languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese) covering events in at least 11 countries including France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Monaco, Canada, Guadeloupe, and Tanzania. The service reaches approximately 250,000 sportspeople and serves 1.5 million pages monthly, with peak months listing more than 900 events.

Its core technical stack combines a public Le-Sportif.com portal with a Le-Sportif.app organiser interface, an Event Manager dashboard (eventmanager.registration4all.com) built on the Registration4all platform for online registration and PCI DSS-compliant secure card payment processing, and a results publishing system with history dating to 2002. Ancillary services include a Virtual Races platform (courses-virtuelles.com), an Eco-Responsible event labelling programme, a VideoForResult video service, a Stay22 accommodation integration, and a RunMotion Coach training-plan partnership. The platform references French federation categorisation including FFA, FF Vélo, FFCT and FFRP. No native mobile app or public API is exposed; iCalendar feed export is the only developer-adjacent interface.

Revenue is non-public and the business is small (1–10 employees, SARL with €7,500 capital, no institutional investment). The monetisation model is anchored on transaction fees/take-rate on registrations processed through the Registration4all pipeline — services are free for organisers and timekeepers — supplemented by advertising opportunities distributed through a published media kit. Sample registration pricing evidence (e.g., €7–10 per adult entry, tiered discounts for licensed federation members, free or reduced entry for minors) indicates modest unit economics. The platform reports CNIL declaration 1999972 and GDPR compliance.
