Now you can add a link to where runners can find their results posted after the race. This can be included in your pre-race email or in a post race email once results are posted live.

We had a timer mistakenly upload a CSV of results that included the email addresses of participants yesterday. Not a good way to start the New Year! We’ve now added a check when uploading results and try to check if we see email addresses and give a warning. Hopefully this does not happen again!
