Before setting up your event, make sure you’re familiar with our [Event Setup Basics guide].


🔹 Event Name

Give your event a clear, consistent name for easy identification. ❗ Avoid including the current year in the event name. Keeping the same name:

  • Keeps the event URL unchanged.

  • Reduces the effort needed to refresh event details for the next edition.


🔲 Event Description

  • If using Eventrac as a listing platform, adding a description is recommended to promote your event and inform participants. ℹ️ Tips for writing an effective Event Description can be found [Event Description Guide]

  • If participants register via your website using the widget, the description is optional.


🔲 Allow Online Entries

Enable this toggle to accept online registrations. It is enabled by default but can be turned off if needed.


🗺️ Event Location & Travel Directions

Provide an interactive map to help participants find your event, especially if it’s in a rural or unfamiliar area.


👁️ Visibility Options

Control who can see your event and what information is displayed on the landing page. Options include private landing page, start list display, and bulk purchase availability.


🔄 Race Move Settings

Manage how participants can move from one race to another after registration.


⚙️ Advanced Options

Configure overall capacity, QR codes, bib numbers, and strict validation for your event.
