Reuse or Retain Event Pages

Once an event is finished, you have several options for that event page:

  1.  Leave the event page as is and let the leaderboards stand indefinitely.
  2. Copy the event so that the original is left online but the copy can be given a new date.
  3. Clear the participant list and reuse the event page for a different date.

 

Leave the event page as is

To leave your event page as is, no further action is required on your part. If you have set up leaderboards, send the event link to all the participants to encourage them to check out the leaderboards for the event.

 

Copy the event

  • Sign in as the Event Account.
  • Go to the event page to be copied.
  • Click Copy Event.

 

  • Fill in the new event name if it will be different. i.e: Change “Gran Fondo 2017” to “Gran Fondo 2018”.
  • Change the starting/ending date for the new event.
  • Click Create to finish the copy.

The copied event will have a new URL to be shared to participants but will still contain all the routes and event details of the original event but with an empty participant list.

 

Clear the participant list and reuse the event page

If you just want to reuse the event page and keep the URL the same, you can clear the participant list one two different ways:
