Begin Using Race Website V2 Now
You can enable Website V2 in your Race Dashboard under “Race”:
The Settings option will take you to this page to turn it on:
The top “Enable V2” is a toggle switch that allows you to switch back and forth between your existing website and your new V2 website (a convenient feature as you migrate content from the old site to the new site). The second option, is designed to accommodate races who have already started to use V2. For most users, we highly recommend our new Template option as it gives you a great looking start to your website with a more highly stylized and modern look. The preview looks like this:
We spent a few minutes to update our banner and logo in this example to spice it up:
We have one template option that looks beautiful when you upgrade from Website V1, but there is manual work to recreate all of your static content (things like Results will show, but your specific FAQ’s will need to be copy and pasted into a new page on Website V2).
In early 2025, Website V2 will become the default for all new races that are created. We will also be encouraging, but not forcing upgrades.
