I'm timing a race with 5 5Ks. Runners start each 5K on the hour and have an hour to complete. I'm rolling around ideas on setup. Any thoughts?

Different runners in every race?

If so, wave setup would work really well. First 5k goes and then you get a time hack for each subsequent race, enter that in for the wave offset. All times come in to the same screen.

If you are having runners do multiple 5k's it gets trickier. You either have to give them multiple numbers/chips (and count on them to keep them straight) or set up separate races.

Same runners. The race is 5 5Ks, each 5K starting on the top of the hour. Lowest overall time wins.

I think your only choice is to clone this race 4 times so that you have the same race setup and participants in each race. When you're all done, you can run the RD Series report that includes all 5 races.

Thanks, Roger. That's what I was just looking at. So many years with this software, and there are still new features to be used!
