Age groups and standings groups

2 min read Updated Jul 2026 14 languages

Groups split standings and start lists by age and gender — for example M40, F30, or youth categories.

Path (challenge): Challenge → Settings → Groups
Path (competition): Competition → Settings → select a distance → Groups

Club-level group collections #

Groups are stored as collections at club level. Each collection contains one or more ranges:

Field	Meaning
Title	Label shown in standings (e.g. M40–49)
From / till year	Birth years included in the group
Gender	Male, female, or all

Create a new collection on the Groups settings page, or pick an existing club collection and attach it to the event.

One group collection applies to the whole challenge. Standings can filter by group when groups are configured.

Groups are configured per distance. A marathon and a 10K can use different collections or share one.

After saving groups while the event is open, DistantRace recalculates group assignments and standings in the background.

Save group — add or update a range inside the active collection
Delete group — remove one range
Delete collection — remove the whole collection from the event (does not delete the club-level template)
Delete groups — detach all groups from the event entirely

Event ended

Changing groups after an event ends may not recalculate historical standings. Prefer finalizing groups before publishing results.
