What it's for

A forerunner is timed like anyone but is never on a start list or in the results. In timing they read 901-A, 902-B and so on, with the name from the race header when there is one. This page sets the range for the event you have open: Forerunner A wears the first bib, B the next, at most 26 (A to Z). Start lists, results, the boards and every timer's desk follow it.

Before you start

  • An event open. Without one the page reads Open an event first — the range belongs to the event.

Steps

  1. Open Settings › Race day › Forerunner bibs.
    From, To, and the line that shows what the range gives
    Forerunner bibs
  2. Type From and To. The line underneath shows the result, for example 901-A · 902-B · … · 909-I (9 forerunners), or says why the range is not allowed.
  3. Press Save.

What success looks like

The Timing Desk and the race header name the forerunners with the bibs you set.

If something goes wrong

  • The line reads Pick a range of 1 to 26 bibs, From no higher than To: fix the numbers; Save stays off until they pass.
