If you already know who will participate, it's easy to add participants class by class using our Copy and Paste method. You can also manually add new participants at any time during your season.
The recruiting tool allows you to customize an online registration form for parents to fill out to enroll their child into your club. This option works great if you don’t yet know who wants to participate. It also gives parents the option to create their own Marathon Kids account to follow their child’s progress and even submit miles from home, depending on the type of club you select.
Important:
Including parent information when rostering your participants is optional, but highly recommended! Adding parents not only keeps them informed about their child’s progress but also enhances their engagement and support throughout the season. It’s a great way to build a stronger community around your run club, and it allows parents to play an active role in their child’s journey to better health.
