Registering for someone else

Registering for someone else

You can register other people from your DistantRace account using sub-accounts (linked participant profiles). This is common for parents registering children or one person signing up a group.

When to use sub-accounts #

  • Registering a child under 13 (see Age restrictions and children)
  • One account paying for multiple family members
  • Applying to a challenge on behalf of someone who does not have their own login

How it works #

  1. Log in to your DistantRace account.
  2. Open the event registration form.
  3. Choose another participant from your saved profiles, or create a new sub-account with their name and birth date.
  4. Complete the form and submit.

Activities for challenges still sync through connected apps on the account that records them — typically the person who actually wears the device.

For virtual competitions and challenges with child subaccounts, open the activity on My workouts and assign it to each child's registration — Managing your activities.

Children under 13

Children under 13 cannot have their own DistantRace login. Parents create a sub-account and connect activities from the parent's devices or accounts as appropriate.

Challenges vs competitions #

  • Challenges: sub-account apply is available from the challenge apply form.
  • In-person / virtual competitions: during checkout you can add multiple participants under one payer, or pick saved profiles if logged in.
