New Missing Link Member Portal

[David William Bitner]

Hey everyone,

We've launched a member portal on the Missing Link website — https://missinglinkrunning.com — and I'd love for you to take a few minutes to create your profile. Signing in is quick: select login with Google, or just enter your email and click the link we send you, and you're in. No password to remember.

Here's what's waiting for you once you do:

Safety info (optional, but important)
You can add an emergency contact and any medical notes relevant to trail running — things like allergies, whether you carry an EpiPen, or anything a first responder should know. This information is completely private and visible only to run leaders and members with medical backgrounds. Nobody else sees it. It's entirely optional, but if something ever goes sideways out on the trail, having it there could make a real difference.

Member directory
Once you're logged in, you can add a profile photo and a short bio so the rest of the group can put a face to the name. If you'd prefer not to be listed, there's a simple checkbox to opt out — no pressure.

Group photo album
All our adventure photos in one place. Anyone can browse them, but only logged-in members can add new ones. If you've got great shots from past runs, races, or events, this is the place for them.

Race tracker
See what races group members are running or volunteering at, add your own upcoming events, and even import your race history directly from UltraSignup.

Community resources (WhatsApp links)
To cut down on the spam we've been seeing in the WhatsApp group, the links to join our WhatsApp channels are now in the members-only section of the site. Log in to find them.

Support contributions
If you've contributed to Missing Link, your giving history is now tracked in your member account.

One personal ask — member stories
If you've been running with us for a while, I'd really appreciate it if you'd share a short story about what Missing Link means to you. You can add it under the Stories section of your profile. Unlike your bio, which is members-only, these stories appear publicly in the Stories tab and on the home page — they help new people understand what this group is all about, and honestly, they mean a lot to me too.

Head to https://missinglinkrunning.com and click Sign in to get started. It takes about two minutes, and you'll have access to everything above right away.

Thanks for being part of the group!
