How to post results??

ajcohen7 — Sat, 10 May 2008 22:33:00 GMT

For my race, I didn't use a timing company, just good old fashion stopwatch and volunteers. But I can't seem to figure out how to post my results. I clicked on 'results' then 'admin results' and then I tried to put them up but they didn't work. Anyone know how I can do this?? Thanks!!

How do you calculate pace?

ActiveAdmin — Wed, 14 May 2008 21:38:41 GMT

In a recent event review in the Active.com directory, one participant noted,

"This is the only race that I know of that uses your clock time against start time to publish your pace. Even the NYC Marathon uses chip time for pace calculations for runners!"

I came across this today and was pretty impressed but then again, I don't have the experience that you all have as event directors. Are you all familiar with The Council for Responsible Sport (CRS) ? Is this the future of events?

"There needs to be some instruction in runner etiquette. Actually, it wouldn't hurt for there to be a link on the website"

Organizing a running road race

Journy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:32:08 GMT

Hi,

I am trying for the first time to organize a running/walking road race for a charity, and looking for any suggestions. I am not sure what officials I need to contact or if I should hire a professional. Or even how to map out the course. Or what to do about insurrance. If there is anyone out there who has experience doing this or contact people that could help, please let me know!

Thank you!
