How it Works

From the administration panel, Coaches can add users, group runners, see when training plans are due, keep track of forms, parent slips, equipment, and fees/renewals. For more control over ongoing documents and up-to-date race results, the handout upload tool enables the coach to upload and sort documents for easy team access. Upgraded packages include a Coaches Contacts Organizer with quick email functionality as well as an athlete archive button to place injured, graduated, or inactive runners on an inactive list to exclude them from scheduling and to give the coach a quick one-sheet of active runners. With a simple click, the coach can reinstate any runners to the active list.

Whether you choose the FREE CORE Solutions Package or upgraded options, the Custom-Branded Team pages will save teams, coaches and runners hours a week on admin, logging, and desk time so more time is spent working toward personal records, big teams, or key road races.
