Create a race

Walk through the Race Portal creation wizard step by step.

Start from Create Race on the web, or the Create tab in the app. The wizard walks you through the same steps on both.

  1. 01
    Choose a race type
    Pick an in-person format (point-to-point, loop, alleycat, scavenger, relay, or — in the app — backyard ultra) or an async race, and choose Running or Cycling. In the app you also choose whether the race has a course at all, or is registration-only. See Choosing a race type.
  2. 02
    Set the basics
    Name, description, date/time (or open window), and distance.
  3. 03
    Build the route
    Draw the course and place your start corral, waypoints, and finish. See Routes, corrals & waypoints.
  4. 04
    Add branding
    Upload a cover photo and set a brand color so your race looks the part.
  5. 05
    Set pricing
    Free, or attach a registration fee — in-person and async races can both be paid — and connect Stripe for payouts.
  6. 06
    Review & publish
    Publish to make the race discoverable, or keep it as a draft until you're ready.
