Your RunSignup CRM is the place to keep ALL of your participant information.

We’ve updated our longtime Import Participants tool! Here is the […]
You can now import Giveaways like you can Custom Questions. This is initiated by going to the Giveaway dashboard page and clicking on the Import Action: You should have a comma-separated value (CSV) file including participant’s giveaway assignments.

We have added the capability to import answers to custom questions. This can be useful if you want to record information about participants that you want to merge into their registration information. Roller Coaster Races was the customer who suggested this. They give different amounts of park tickets based on the membership type of the registrant […]
We have a number of races who have moved to RunSignUp from another vendor while registration is open. This typically means they import those registrations into RunSignUp and use the RunSignUp Participant Management capabilities so participants can do self-management. In Add-On and Event management, you can now turn on the ability for participants to get […]
We have expanded the ability to do Team Imports with the following features: Team Default Event Gender Restrictions Age Restrictions Team Joining Password Bib Numbers Note the fields that can be imported.

You can now import participant data from previous years. This allows race directors to have easier access to all of their data in one place, and also enables some of the nice year over year reporting that RunSignUp offers. Importing old data takes several simple steps. First, on the Import page, you can now add […]
When you import participant information from another data source via a spreadsheet, there is always the issue of data compatibility. For example the spreadsheet may have the T-Shirt as a “L” and your race has been set up with “Large”. On import, RunSignUp allows you to match fields very easily as shown at the right. […]

As we continue to get large clubs importing existing memberships into RunSignup, we learn more and develop a few tools. One of the powerful things RunSignUp offers is the idea of a single Membership covering multiple people. Very useful for Mom to sign up herself, her husband and two kids in a single registration. When […]
As a follow on to the post on Importing Club Members, we wanted to give some tips and tricks we have learned as more and more clubs are moving to RunSignUp. Small Chunks – Import small chunks – maybe 100 at a time. There are several reasons. First, we display all the imported data before you […]
Team Captains now have the ability to import participants to their corporate teams. While most Corporate teams have members sign up themselves, some companies want to have a person do all the registration. Imports can be done either with a CSV file (Excel spreadsheet output), or via our new editor. Once members are added, they […]
We have overhauled the Member Import in this new version of Clubs. It makes the import process much easier, and introduces the idea of merging people into Family Memberships. We provide a couple of ways to do the merging into Family Memberships – at the time of Import by clicking a little box to say […]
We just had another race director switch from a different registration system! She already had some registrants in her old system. With the Import capability of RunSignUp she can easily import those participants. There is the added benefit of now being able to use the free iContact capability to easily email all of her participants. […]
