Create races and their runs
You create races in the dashboard, under Races, with the + button at the bottom right. Each race has a type, a price and at least one run (date, time, distance). You also set teams and required documents there.
Race and run: the vocabulary
Section titled “Race and run: the vocabulary”- A race is what the competitor registers for, for example “Canicross 5 km”. It has a type, a federation and a price.
- A run is one leg of the race, with its own date and time. As the app puts it, “A race can have several tests. For example if your race takes place on two days with a cumulative podium then it is a race with two events.” In other words, a two-day race with a combined podium is one race with two runs.
Add a race
Section titled “Add a race”- Open the event dashboard.
- Under Event Configuration, tap Races.
