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Add each distance with name, length, status (published/unpublished), and optional caps on participant count.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

## 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.
