Set up a regular group, like a Thursday evening run

Most clubs have more than the main club night: a member-led midweek run, a Sunday social, a track session. Add each one as a regular group. Its runs then show on the club page beside the club's main calendar, with their own name. You need the Editor or Owner role.

1. Open Schedule, choose the Groups tab, then New group.
2. Give it a Name, such as "Thursday evening run".
3. Under Who runs it, choose Members or The club. Member-led runs show on the club page as arranged by members: everyone's welcome, but they run as individuals, and the route isn't one the club has checked and risk-assessed. Choose The club only for runs that go through the club's usual checks.
4. Add the Usual day, Usual start time and Where it meets, and a line About it for members, such as the usual distance and pace.
5. Choose Add the group.

Choose its organisers

You need the Owner role. Choose Organisers on the group, enter their email addresses, one per line, and choose Save organisers. You may be asked to confirm it's you.

Someone who isn't in the portal yet is added with the Organiser role. They can post this group's runs, plan routes for them and make changes on the day, and see the rest of the portal without changing it. Club Routes doesn't send an invitation, so let them know they can sign in at clubroutes.com/manage with their email. See Post your group's runs.

Good to know

• Each group's dates are on the Calendar in the group's colour. Groups keeps the groups' settings, and shows how many dates each has and how many need a route.
• Editors and owners can add and change any group's dates too, with Add a date and Run by.
• Groups' runs stay out of the Season view, so saving the calendar never removes them. Reports shows each group beside the club's own runs, under What's popular, by group.
• Member-led groups don't count towards members' club-run streaks and milestones. To give one its own streak card and milestones, see Your record and trophies and switch it on under Settings, Club page and feed, Records and trophies.
• To stop a group, open Edit and choose Remove this group. Its coming runs go too, as long as nobody is going.
• Members choose which groups to hear about on the club page. See Follow a regular group.
