Races

The Races screen is a shared, cross-club catalogue of real race events — the Berlin Marathon, your club time trial, a local 10K. A single race event is entered once and is then reused by everyone: every athlete who takes part links their own competition to that same shared race, so results from different clubs line up side by side on one page.

You open it from Races in the main menu. It is available to both coaches and athletes.

Browsing and searching races​

The list shows each race as a card with its name, date, sport, distance, location and how many people are taking part. Upcoming races carry a countdown badge (for example in 3 weeks or today); past races are marked accordingly.

You can narrow the list down with:

  • Search — type any part of a race name.
  • Time frame — Upcoming, Past or All.
  • Scope — which slice of the catalogue you are looking at:
    • My club — races that you or a clubmate are entered in (the default).
    • All races — the whole platform-wide catalogue, including races nobody in your club has joined yet.
    • My races — only the races you personally are entered in (athletes only).
  • Sport, Distance and Country filters.

A coach can also filter the list to a single one of their athletes. When you do, each race card shows that athlete's finishing time and pace for the race — a quick way to review how one athlete has raced over a season.

Two participant counts

A race card can show a count such as 3 from your club · 47 total. The first number is how many of your own clubmates are entered; the second is everyone taking part that you are allowed to see. They differ on purpose, so the roster on the race page never surprises you with more people than the card suggested.

Public and club races​

Every race event has a visibility setting:

  • Public — a real, open event. It is visible to everyone across the platform and requires a link to the official event website (this is what lets an administrator confirm the race is genuine). Public is the default.
  • Club only — an internal event such as a time trial or club championship. It is listed only to members of your club; other clubs never see it. (An athlete who was already entered keeps access even if the race is later switched to club-only.)

Adding a race​

Anyone can add a race that isn't in the catalogue yet — press Add race and fill in the form.

  • Required: race name and date.
  • Optional: sport type, distance, location, country, description, and (for a public race) the official event website.

Start typing a location and pick a place from the list so the race can be placed on a map — this also helps the app recognise your race-day activity later (see Connecting a recorded activity).

The catalogue is duplicate-aware: if the race you are entering already exists, the app links you to the existing one instead of creating a second copy, so everyone's results stay together on a single page.

The race page​

Opening a race shows its details across tabs.

Details​

The Details tab lists everything known about the event — sport, distance, location, country, description and a link to the official website — and, when the location is pinned, a map.

Participants​

The Participants tab is the roster and results board for the race. Before the race it lists everyone taking part; afterwards it becomes a leaderboard, with finishers ordered by time.

Each row shows the athlete and their status:

  • Entered — on the start list, no result yet.
  • Participated — took part and has a recorded time, but no official result confirmed yet.
  • Finished — an official result was recorded.
  • DNS / DNF — did not start / did not finish.

For a finished race the row also shows the finishing time and pace (or speed, for cycling), a PB marker for a personal best, and finishing position where known. A time taken from a connected activity rather than an entered official result is shown dimmed, with an "unofficial result" note.

Because a race is shared across clubs, you see every participant you are allowed to see. Athletes from other clubs appear with their identity reduced (no photo), protecting their privacy while still letting you compare results.

A coach can use the My athletes only filter to focus the roster on their own athletes, and can remove one of their own athletes from an upcoming race that has no recorded result yet.

Entering athletes into a race​

Adding someone to a race creates a competition — an entry on that person's calendar linked to this race.

  • A coach uses Add athletes on the race page to enter one or more of their athletes at once.
  • An athlete (or a coach entering themselves) uses Add to my calendar.

From that moment the race appears on the athlete's calendar and in their Results section, and their result flows back onto this race page.

Web and mobile​

The Races catalogue, the race page and adding athletes are available in both the web app and the mobile apps.
