The organization works towards promoting and growing the use of technology in sports, and to assist DIF in catching the world's interest for sports in Denmark in general.

In 2024, The Next Race launched their first product: A user-friendly training plan designer centered around usability, which they achieve through the use of user centered design and user research to achieve a high level quality of user experience. The platform offers various quality of life features:

  1. Drag and drop functionality
