Team Management Dashboard
Overview
The Team Management dashboard lets you create and manage teams for group competition. Teams add layers of engagement — real-time team leaderboards, team-only message boards, team avatars on the route, and team finish awards.
Accessing the Dashboard
From your race's dashboard hub, click Team management in the sidebar under PEOPLE.
Creating Teams
Click + to create a new team. Each team needs a name and can optionally have a captain assigned. A race can have an unlimited number of teams.
Tip: You can also use the "uniteam" option to total all participant miles into one shared team — useful for groups tackling routes of 5,000+ miles together.
Team Captains
Assigning team captains is a powerful engagement strategy. Instead of mass marketing, recruit influential community members as captains and let them recruit and motivate their team. Sponsors can direct emails specifically to team captains.
Assigning Racers
Racers can join teams in several ways:
- Sponsor-assigned: Assign racers to teams from the dashboard
- Self-select: Let racers choose their own team during registration
- Captain-recruited: Captains invite members directly
What Teams Unlock
Enabling teams activates several features for racers:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Team leaderboards | Real-time standings tallying team miles and (in charity races) contributions |
| Team activity feed | Each team has its own feed showing only its members' activities |
| Team message boards | Private chat for team members to strategize, cheer, and share photos |
| Team avatars | Optional team markers on the route map — team miles push the avatar along |
| Team finish awards | Each member receives a digital award for the team's performance |
| Team Street View | When a racer logs miles, the Google Street View can show the team's location |
Team Sizing Tips
- Ideal team size: 6–20 racers for maximum team spirit
- Smaller teams (3–4) can feel discouraging if a member stops participating
- Larger teams (60+) can work well depending on the race format
- For team relay races, recommended route length:
2.5 miles × racers × days(e.g., 10-person teams in a 1-week race → 175 miles) - Teams that reach the route's end early can loop in most races
