Data every team can work with, without copying it row by row
One race does not run on one dataset. The shirt supplier wants quantities by size, the packing team wants addresses with recipient names, accounting wants the money as at an agreed date, and the venue wants headcount per distance — and they all ask at roughly the same time.
When entries can only be viewed on screen, someone ends up copying them row by row into their own spreadsheet. That is slow and easy to get wrong, and when the thing copied wrongly is an address or a shirt size, one bad line means a pack delivered to the wrong house or a shirt in the wrong size.
And because each person copies at a different time, no two files circulating in the group agree, and nobody can say which one is authoritative.
The participant list drives shirt production orders and the medical team’s roster; the sales report closes the books with accounting and partners, with a cut-off date you choose; the delivery file drives packing and shipping labels; deferrals and refund requests sit in their own file. All of them are downloaded from the same place.
What you get is a Google Sheet that opens straight from a link — no software to install and no Google account needed. Standing at the printers and need to check shirt sizes? Open it on your phone.
The sheet has Google Sheets’ own download menu, so you can take it away as Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), CSV or PDF. Nobody has to change how they work.
Shirt sizes and any other options runners chose at entry come through as their own columns — per person for the supplier, and ready to total inside the sheet. If all you want is a quick count per size, the entrant statistics page already charts it by option.
The delivery file carries the recipient name, phone number, full address, bib number and everyone on that entry in a single row. Send the link to your packing team or courier and they can work from it immediately, with no user accounts to create.
The sales report takes a cut-off date. The first sheet totals the number of athletes, entry fees and add-ons, and what remains after discounts and delivery charges, with breakdowns by distance, payment method and promotion in the same file.
The participant file already includes date of birth, age, ID number, medical conditions, blood type and emergency contacts. Cut the columns you do not need and you have the list for the medical team or the insurer in a few minutes.
Headcount by distance and age group, as required when applying to use a route or a venue, comes out of the same file — nobody has to count anything again.
Each download is a fresh file cut at that moment, with the date in its name. Conversations can then be anchored to a particular day’s file, rather than to something forwarded so many times its origin is unclear.
Because a link opens anywhere with nothing installed — on the packing team’s phones and on accounting’s desktop — and it can be passed to someone outside the team without emailing a file around. If you prefer Excel, the sheet’s File → Download → Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) menu is always there.
No. Anyone with the link can open and read it. To keep it permanently or edit it in place, sign in with your own Google account and make a copy, or download it to your machine.
It is temporary — the system deletes generated files automatically so runner data is not left sitting on old links. If you need to keep it, take a copy or download it when you first open it; you can generate a fresh one as often as you like.
You can send it to the people who need it, but be aware that anyone holding the link can read it without signing in, and the file contains runners’ personal data in full, including phone numbers and addresses. It should not be posted publicly or in an open group.
No. It is a snapshot from the moment it was created, which is why the date is in the file name. Generate a new one whenever you need current figures — there is no charge.
It does not. These files are for taking data out, so entrant details must be changed in the system itself — the exception being files designed to be uploaded back, such as bib assignment, which has its own upload step.
Yes. Send us a file pairing tracking numbers with entry numbers and we upload it, after which each runner sees their tracking number on their own entry and can open the courier’s tracking page from there. We handle the upload because it writes back to a large number of entries at once.
No. The entrant statistics page in the system already charts responses by add-on, so the count per size is there to look at. The downloadable files are more useful when you need the per-person list for a supplier or a packing team.
