Add a run date

Add a club run to the calendar. It shows on your club page as soon as you save it. You need the Editor or Owner role.

1. Open Schedule and choose Add a date. Or choose New, then A run date. In the Month view you can also click the + on an empty day.
2. Under Run by, check your club's own runs are selected (Club runs, or your main group's name).
3. Check the Date. It starts on your next club night that doesn't have a run yet. Leave Start time blank for your club's usual time, or set one for this run, such as 09:30 for a Sunday morning run.
4. Choose a Route. The list is searchable and shows each route's outline, distance, climb and when it was last run or is next on. Its code and matching long option fill in for you. Not sure which? Choose Suggest a route.
5. If there's a longer version, choose it under Long option. If your club hasn't used long options yet, it's under More options.
6. Open More options to add a Run number, Code, Title, Type or Note if you like. The title is shown instead of the route's name.
7. Choose Add it.

Every week in one go

To fill the season, tick Repeat every week under the start time, and choose the date to repeat until. With Suggest a route for each date ticked, each run gets a route that hasn't been run within 8 weeks, and a route you chose above goes on the first date. Runs are numbered on from your last one, and dates that already have a club run are skipped. The button says how many, such as Add 12 dates. A new club with no runs coming up starts with Repeat every week ticked. Change any date's route afterwards.

Good to know

• A run without its own start time uses your club's usual Start time (under Settings, then Details). If you change the usual time, those runs change with it; runs with their own time keep it.
• The start time shows on the club page, in members' connected calendars and in head torch reminders. To change it once people are going, use Move so they're told.
• You can leave the route as No route yet and add it later. Type a distance in the box beside it to show one on the calendar until you choose. Once you choose a route, the box goes and the run takes the route's own distance. If you upload a new file for the route, the run follows it.
• If a run's route starts somewhere other than where most of your routes start, the club page, reminders and members' calendars say where it starts, using the name under Start points on Routes. See Name your start points. Today and This week remind you about runs without a route.
• Suggest a route picks one that hasn't been run within 8 weeks of that date and is close to your usual distance.
• To change a run later, open it and choose Edit. If people are going, use the run-day buttons instead so they're told. See Move or cancel a run and tell people.
• Cycling clubs see "ride" instead of "run", and walking groups see "walk". Walking groups also get a Meeting point for each walk (such as a car park and its postcode, shown on the club page and in members' calendars) and choose a Grade or type: Easy, Leisurely, Moderate or Strenuous.
