If your cross country meet uses Standard Registration, you can add races from the meet's management page and configure the gender, distance, and optional entry limits for each event.

Add an event

1. Log in to your DirectAthletics coach or admin account.
2. Select the Meet Manager tab.
3. Find the meet and select Edit.
4. Select the green Add New Event button.
5. Enter a clear name for the event, such as:
   • Men's 8K
   • Women's 5K
6. Select the event's gender.
7. Enter Max Athletes Per Team if you want to limit how many athletes each team can enter.
   • Leave this field blank if there is no athlete limit.
8. Enter the race distance.
9. Select Miles or Kilometers for the distance.
10. Enter Max Teams if you want to limit how many teams can register for the race.
    • Leave this field blank if there is no team limit.
11. Select Submit to save the event.

Repeat these steps for each additional race you want to add.

If you do not see Add New Event

If the Add New Event button is unavailable, the meet may have been created using Roster Registration.

Events cannot be added to a meet using Roster Registration.

To create events, you will need to:

1. Delete the existing meet.
2. Create the meet again.
3. Select Standard Registration during setup.
4. Add the required events to the new meet.

Because the registration type cannot be changed after meet setup, confirm that Standard Registration is selected when creating a meet that requires event-level registration.
