Where event creation is available #
Event creation requires a signed-in organization manager. The former anonymous Easy Event Create form on the public homepage is no longer available.
For a daily steps, points/sports, or combined challenge, you can also use Profile → Your events → Create in the mobile app. See Creating and managing challenges in the app.
Configure team behavior after creation. Challenges can use organizer-defined teams or allow participants to create public teams during registration; see Challenge settings reference.
Copy from template #
Duplicate an existing club event as a starting point — settings, distances, and pages copy over; dates and registrations reset.
Some DistantRace template challenges can be copied from the global library when allow_copy is enabled.
After creation #
