There are 3 ways to add participants

  1. Upload File

    1. Self-Service Upload: Download our template from your account and follow the instructions to upload your roster on your own.

    2. Premium Roster Upload Service: Let us handle the upload for you! Simply choose our Premium Roster Upload Service, and we’ll take care of adding your participants, saving you time and ensuring accuracy.

    1. 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.

    1. 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.


What is Participant and Parent Information used for?

Participant Information

Participants are the kids you will track miles and minutes for during your season.

Once your participants are officially added to your season, you can filter participants by gender, grade, and/or class to:

Participants can even view their personalized participant dashboard!

Parent information

Adding parents is an optional feature and not required for the program.

Including parents' information gives parents the option to create their own Marathon Kids account to follow their child's progress and submit miles completed at home to the coach.

As a coach, you control the parent access with the club type you choose. You can allow parents to follow their child's progress or also have the option to submit miles from home to you for approval.

There are 3 ways to invite parents

  • Upload File - Automatically invites parents via email once you upload your roster.

    • You must include parent email at this time to avoid adding parents one by one.

  • Manually or Copy/Paste - Add parent emails to the student's information at any time to send an automatic email invite.

  • Recruitment Page - this feature automatically gives the parent the option to create their account after filling out your customized registration link.
