Our Copy Paste feature is here to help you roster participants faster and with less hassle. Get your classes set up in no time and focus on what matters—getting your kids moving
As you prepare to roster your participants, Copy Paste lets you add an entire class in one simple step, or easily manually add new students as they enroll.
Marathon Kids has simplified the rostering process!
To add participants with the Copy and Paste tool, you will need:
A list of your classes/teacher names.
A list of your runners with first name, last name, gender, and grade.
Optional Parent Contact Information:
Here's where the real value shines. By including parent contact information (first name, last name, and email), you empower parents to actively engage in their child's journey. They gain the ability to stay updated on their child's progress, fostering a collaborative environment between home and school. Plus you get to set the permissions to allow them to submit miles run at home or not.
How to use Copy/Paste to add participants:
1. Select Copy/Paste:
When adding participants, you will select “Manual or Copy/paste” and have the list of your participants prepared. This will take you to create a class.
2. Create a new Class:
Add your classes in the "Create a new Class" box by filling in the Teacher's First Name, Last Name, and Class Name. The Class Name will appear on ID cards and the filters within your club dashboard and reports.
*Note, in this stage you will need to add classes one at a time. You will then be able to add more classes after participants are added.
Once done click “Save”
3. Add participants
Once your class is saved, you will be taken to the “Add participants" page. To add participants, you must copy and paste their first name, last name, gender, and grade into the table.
Optional: Student ID to help identify your participants when running reports. Parent contact information (first name, last name, email) if you want them to have the ability to submit miles run at home and follow their child’s progress.
This process should be continued until all participants listed from this class are added to the roster.
*Note if all required rows are not complete, the cell be highlighted in red. To correct this, you will double-click into the corresponding cell to enter the item that is missing or incorrect.
