Managing your account settings
Managing your account settings
Your DistantRace account settings cover login details, profile data, and security — separate from saved participant profiles you use at checkout.
Path: Log in → Profile / Account (/accounts/)
Edit profile #
Profile (/accounts/profile/) — update your connected participant:
- First and last name
- Birth date and gender
- Phone and address fields
- Profile photo (upload JPG or PNG)
Email on this form follows your account login address — change it under Email (below).
Change email #
Email (/accounts/email/):
- Add a new address if needed
- Verify via the confirmation link DistantRace sends
- Set the verified address as primary
Your participant profile email updates when the primary login email changes.
Change password #
Password (/accounts/password/change/) — set a new password when you signed up with email and password.
Social-only accounts may use Set password first (/accounts/password/set/) to add a password alongside Google or Apple login.
Connections (sports apps) #
Connections (/accounts/social/) — connect or disconnect Garmin, Polar, Fitbit, and other supported apps.
See Supported apps for setup guides and Resolving duplicate social accounts if login conflicts appear.
Security #
| Setting | Path |
|---|---|
| Two-factor authentication | /accounts/2fa/ — Two-factor authentication |
| Passkey | Account security — Sign-in options |
| Notifications | /accounts/notifications/ — Notification preferences |
| Daily steps | /accounts/daily_stats/ — Daily steps on the website |
Organizers need 2FA enabled for manager console access.
Delete account #
Delete account (/accounts/profile/delete/) permanently removes your login. Read Delete your account for prerequisites (withdraw from active events, unpaid carts).
