Multi-distance challenges

Distance-kind challenges can offer several enrollment categories (for example 5 km, 10 km, half marathon).

Path: Settings → Distances

Configure distances #

Add each distance with name, length, status (published/unpublished), and optional caps on participant count.

Delete distance removes a category. Existing challengers on that distance revert to no-distance scoring — DistantRace warns how many participants are affected.

Multiple enrollment #

Enable Allow multiple distances in Settings → Advanced so one participant can hold several distance rows.

Each row must represent a different attached distance. DistantRace blocks duplicate enrollment in the same distance while still allowing the participant to join other distances. Organizer edits and imports apply the same safeguard; if older data already contains duplicate rows, keep one row per participant and distance before recalculating results.

Apply flow #

Participants select distances on the registration form. Activities route to the appropriate challenger row.

Per-section caps #

When using stages, you can cap distance counted per stage — useful for monthly sub-competitions.
