How to use your app
Your races, plans and club – step by step.
For members
Title search, compact layout and contextual help
A compact title search sits beside From the club. It matches the event name case-insensitively, not story text or member names. × clears the search. Public search also finds results on later pages without revealing private stories. In the passport, the heading, rank badge and shared All time/Year selector are aligned. Short explanations and map notes are available through (i): hover, keyboard focus or tap opens the help, and Escape closes it. Errors and essential notices stay visible. The public homepage has smaller navigation tiles. Total IUM time can also be public; only recorded positive times from countable results are included, never invented times from opening balances. Desktop statistics stay in one row; mobile tiles wrap to fit the screen.
Add a missing race to the club calendar
Members can select Add a new race in the club calendar. Check suggested existing dates first and join a matching event. If the race is missing, enter its date, city, country, type and distance and save directly without approval. Your own plan is saved too. The event appears in the club calendar; when the public calendar is enabled, its basic details are public, but internal notes and participants are not. A plan is neither registration with the organiser nor a race result. Matching existing events are not created again.
Compact club rankings and a shared period selector
Club rankings start expanded. More filters and Member filter sit directly after Badge-Master in the same wrapping toolbar. Open gender and age filters or member search as needed. The passport has one shared All time/Year selector for statistics, world map and club rankings; the dedicated ranking and country-passport pages each have one period selector. The subject selector shows your name, the whole club or another member without an additional introductory label. Calculation notes are available as contextual help at the relevant titles: hover, focus with the keyboard or tap; Escape closes the help. Viewing another member never changes your account or editing rights. Calculation rules, stored data and the Overall (Competitive) default are unchanged.
Become a member: apply without signing in
Open Become a member on the public website to apply without signing in. Enter your name, date of birth, email, mobile number and number of Ironman, ultra and marathon finishes. A short message is optional. After acknowledging the privacy notice, the application is emailed to lc5pacers@gmail.com. Success is shown only after the mail service accepts the message; it is neither membership approval nor proof of inbox delivery. No member, user account or opening balance is created. If an error occurs, entries remain in the open form. Application details are not stored in the membership database; the mail service and recipient mailbox process them.
Five compact tiles: your name, whole club or member
One selector controls IUM, IUM running distance, countries, total IUM time, Marathon PB and the world map. “Whole club” includes all approved actual club members, including foreign nationals. The selected year applies to these statistics; the ranking category remains independent. Clicking a country displays counted results for the selected scope below the world map. Switching views never changes your signed-in identity or editing permissions. Country tiles have no extra UK counter. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland remain separate countries on the ordinary world map, with no additional UK map. Total IUM time adds the recorded positive finish times of approved, countable Ironman, ultra and marathon results, using the full recorded Ironman time. Hours do not wrap at 24. Missing times are indicated; opening balances and aggregate corrections never invent times. Marathon PB is the fastest counted marathon in the selection, the fastest club time for the whole club and the best time in the year when a year is selected. A dash indicates no valid time.
Public club ranking: all time or year
The public club ranking includes a Club ranking period selector. All time is the default. Changing the year reloads the figures and retains the selected ranking; the selector remains visible even when optional public filters are disabled. Annual rankings count only approved, countable individual races dated within that year, not their entry or import dates. Opening balances and statistical corrections without an individual race count only in the all-time view and are not assigned to their entry year. Annual rankings may therefore be incomplete where individual evidence is missing. Existing Competitive eligibility rules still apply.
Four UK countries in the tile and world map
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are displayed separately in the country overview and on the world map. Visiting one country no longer colours the whole United Kingdom. Clicking or tapping selects exactly that country. Approved Ironman, ultra and marathon results count; short and unapproved races add no countries. Unassigned GB/UK is not a fifth country and is never automatically treated as England. Ireland remains separate. The update does not modify existing results.
Badge group order
The collection starts with majors and marathon collections, followed by country and continent collectors, time achievements, timed races, ultra distances and Ironman. Existing weekly and stage badges remain after those groups. The final special group contains World Runner, Japan and the organizer award last. The central order also applies to badge strips and the Hall of Fame. Visibility, earned levels and eligibility rules are unchanged.
Reveal board and programme cards
Reveal card opens the stored content: name, role, responsibilities and available contact details for a person; the saved title and full programme text for a programme card. Long text has sufficient space, including on mobile. Closing the card changes only its presentation. Revealing never publishes a card or changes data. Administrators manage public visibility separately.
Filter My races by finish time
My races → Filters → Finish-time range: enter From and/or To as HH:MM:SS and apply. For example, 05:30:00 to 06:30:00 includes both bounds. Either side may be empty, and ultra durations over 24 hours are supported. Combine with year, race type, country and search. Invalid or reversed bounds are not applied. Reset clears only the time filter.
Club rankings directly in the passport
The passport contains the same complete ranking categories and member search as the dedicated ranking page, without a separate “Rankings & filters” detour. The member list starts expanded and can be closed; searching or “Go to row” reopens it. More filters for gender and age and Member filter for search follow directly after Badge-Master. The passport uses one shared period selector for its statistics, world map and club rankings. Overall (Competitive) is still the default. Calculation notes are available as contextual help at the title.
Multiple evidence links
One result can hold up to five evidence URLs. Add them while editing a race; reviewers can open every link. The race still counts once. Imports preserve old evidence when new sources are discovered. Same-day duplicates: MarathonAustria wins, other records remain recoverable in the trash.
Separate board functions
Board functions is a single authorized area for dues, stories, member profiles and gallery. Admins grant access in Rankings & appearance → Board functions. Legacy treasurers retain dues-only access.
Admin-managed profile photos
Admins can add or replace member profile photos. Images are saved to the existing member profile; visibility rules remain unchanged. Members can still update their own photo in their profile.
Enter a race and submit for approval
Ordinary members submit only the event title and result URL under Log a race. After successful submission, they are asked whether to add an optional story or rating. Text, up to four photos and star ratings can be sent in a separate second step. Skipping it keeps the submission. Administrators and authorized board members retain full entry; existing races remain editable. Use the plus button or the enabled menu entry. The duplicate button above the passport is removed on both desktop and mobile. Unreviewed submissions do not count. Private stories/photos stay hidden even from administrators; explicitly select an audience to share them.
Compact passport and menus
My passport shows compact metrics, club updates, rankings, the world map and recent finishes when enabled. The full ranking controls and filters are directly available; the member list starts expanded. Statistics, world map and rankings share one period selector. Administrators can independently order whole page sections for My passport, Overall and Public. Other features remain in the sidebar or mobile menu. The country list below the world map starts collapsed; there is no additional UK map. The public homepage remains separate.
Compact public homepage
The public homepage uses compact spacing between news, club achievements and rankings. Both overall rankings always show sortable I/U/M columns, even when standalone categories are hidden. M shows all or competitive marathons according to the selected overall ranking.
Board cards and country badges
Published board cards start covered. Reveal card shows the name, role, full responsibilities and contact details; programme cards show their saved title and every programme point. Revealing and closing affect presentation only, never publication. Inactive cards remain hidden publicly. Country badges use the app country catalogue including territories, approved IUMs and separate UK countries; unassigned GB does not count.
Countries and distinct IUM events
Distinct IUM events counts Ironman, ultra and marathon by event key, country and discipline; repetitions count once. Countries includes all three IUM disciplines, excluding shorter races. Separate UK countries remain; unassigned GB does not count. Public calendar details have improved contrast.
Story attached to your race
In My races choose Write story or Edit story beside a race. Story, photos and ratings belong to this race; the existing entry returns to admin review without creating another race. Race stories remains the reading collection. Standalone posts are managed in the backend.
Switch to the public view
Choose Public view in the header passport selector. You stay signed in, but see the public page with its public visibility settings. My passport / Login returns to your passport. Sign-in starts at My passport; Overall and Public view are not saved as the starting view. This selector follows the header navigation setting.
Navigation and passport views
My passport shows your own races and statistics; Overall shows the signed-in club overview. The public homepage is the signed-out view. Admins can separately hide desktop sidebar and header entries. This does not delete results or change access permissions.
Results from Marathon Austria
Admins can fetch, compare and bulk-import Marathon Austria results on demand. The source URL is stored; updates preserve existing reports, photos and ascent. Historical imports do not create old ticker announcements.
Result source links
Timing imports store the queried URL for each new result. Person imports store a source/profile URL, not necessarily an individual finish link. Manual and CSV entries require a supplied URL. Outlet settings are admin-only.
Shared event names in popularity rankings
Administrator-confirmed event aliases are grouped under a canonical name in the popularity ranking. Assignments apply to the same date, race type and country, including later imports using a saved alias. Original names and personal results are preserved. Across years, the ranking groups matching canonical names while ignoring year numbers.
Complete missing result data
When a result list contains empty event fields, rechecking uses the event details supplied above. Decimal commas are accepted, e.g. 42,195. Non-empty result-row values take precedence so mixed distances are not overwritten. Invalid values identify the affected field. Select valid matches and commit after rechecking; member submissions retain their approval requirements.
Club totals, marathon column and Hall of Fame
Public Club achievements show a compact summary of enabled statistics, including optional total IUM time: one row on desktop, compact wrapping on mobile. Explanations are available through (i). Existing visibility settings still apply. In Overall (Competitive), M shows qualifying marathons; in Overall, all marathons. The standalone Marathon (Competitive) ranking can remain hidden while the public M column stays populated and sortable. Hall of Fame badges appear below each name and expand via Show badges.
Find members in rankings
The name search next to the filters suggests names and filters immediately without reloading. Select by click or arrow keys and Enter; × clears the search. Matches beyond the first ten are included, with original ranks retained. Public search uses only visible names and preserves anonymous entries. It follows the public filters visibility setting.
Central ascent corrections
Administrator ascent corrections apply to all results in the same event group. These maintenance and CSV tools are available only to administrators.
Club achievements on mobile
Public totals are labelled Club achievements. On phones the tiles are compact and show their title and value without captions. Tiles remain clickable.
Clear club ranking controls
Member rankings have one selection bar: Overall (Competitive), Overall (Austria), Overall (International), Overall (all), then other rankings. The additional Austria/passport audience filter and standalone marathon buttons are removed. All four overall rankings show I/U/M and Total; Competitive counts only qualifying marathons in M. Public rankings offer only Overall (Competitive) by default and Overall, subject to public visibility. Click I/U/M column headings to sort the public list; click again to reverse direction. Disabled columns remain hidden. Background checks of unchanged settings no longer rebuild the view; unchanged ranking data stays in place.
Photo strip without captions
The photo strip on public and signed-in home pages shows thumbnails without visible captions. Opening a photo still displays its title and race story when available. Backend photo titles are retained.
Stacked ultra badges
Compact ranking views also stack ultra-distance badges: the highest earned and enabled tier appears in front (50K, 80K, 100K, 150K, 100M, 100M+), with a count of the included tiers. Tap to see every included badge and its criteria. Timed races and marathon times remain separate stacks. The full badge collection still shows every tier individually. Badge scores and Hall of Fame rankings are unchanged.
Board functions without administrator rights
Authorized board members access Board functions in navigation. An admin grants the entire module per member under Rankings & appearance → Board functions. Reports, member photos and gallery are available without result approval or account administration. Instagram link and optional post are configurable there.
Overall (International)
Overall (International) is a button in the club rankings beside Overall (Competitive). The separate International-IUM panel has been removed. Public availability follows the ranking visibility setting independently of passport filters. International members contribute only their IUM totals here. Overall (Austria) is a separate button for Austrian runners, including inactive runners and official ranking placeholders. Inactive runners appear by gender and birth year, or unknown year when missing. Admins retain real names in member administration. Public availability is enabled separately in ranking settings. Popularity remains available as a dedicated menu entry.
Popularity and treasurer area
Popularity has a dedicated menu item and tile when enabled. Authorized treasurers find Membership fees in the menu; ordinary members have no access. The full badge collection shows every tier separately; compact rankings retain stacks.
Badge collection and Svalbard
The full badge collection shows every tier individually without stacks. Time achievements, timed races and ultra distances have separate categories. World Runner, Japan list and Organizer appear further down under Special achievements. Compact rankings retain stacked badges. Svalbard and Jan Mayen is no longer a separate race-country choice; corresponding CSV country values map to Norway.
Reimport an entire CSV after deleting results
Admin → Results & data → Manual & CSV import → CSV. Load the file, check columns, assign the member once, create the preview and Import all. Trashed results are completely ignored when matching CSV data and never block an import row. They stay deleted; new results are created from the CSV. No need to select hundreds of individual rows. For active existing results enable Use verified CSV as source: populated CSV values win, blank fields and personal content are retained. Repeated CSV dates are merged using the last populated value per field. One day = one race still applies. Other people and dates absent from the CSV are unchanged. Actually invalid source values are listed together; valid rows are still imported.
Control the public view separately
Administration → Tiles & navigation → Web – public or Mobile – public: configure sections, tiles, results, public stories and optional filters independently. Save area affects only the selected area. Disabled public stories also disappear from that area's photo strip; extra photos remain independent. Member views and role permissions are unchanged. The public year/all-time selector beside the rankings remains available when optional filters are collapsed or hidden. When optional filters are not publicly available, person, country and other optional URL filters are not applied. Content and ranking permissions remain separate from these appearance settings.
Photo strip and extra photos
Above Club updates, small thumbnails rotate through approved public story photos and up to 10 extra club photos, shuffled on loading. Pause and arrows control the strip; reduced-motion preference disables automatic rotation. Click to open the photo and any story. Admin → Club life & content → Photo gallery: enter a title, select JPG/PNG/WebP up to 12 MB and Add publicly. Remove takes an extra photo out. Private stories never appear. The Photo gallery switch is independent of Club updates and applies across views.
Compact badge stacks
Expand badges per person in the public club ranking. Earned marathon-time and timed-ultra tiers each form one stack with the normal badge footprint. The highest earned enabled tier is in front; its number counts all earned enabled tiers. Expand to view tiers and criteria. Uncompleted tiers remain visible in the collection. Earned enabled badges still count individually for Badge Master and Hall of Fame. A 24-hour race alone does not award 6-hour or 12-hour tiers.
Club, International and Austria Ranking
Passport group: All members shows Austrian club members; All members + Int. adds international club members to Overall (International), using IUM totals only. Austria Ranking also includes Austrian non-members. Admins can classify people as non-members when creating them, importing new people from CSV or editing member details. The CSV option does not reclassify existing people. Non-members have no login, are excluded from club rankings and the national Hall of Fame, and appear in Austria Ranking as Runner with birth year. Real names remain in administration for result matching. International badges stay in the own profile. Overall (International) is a toggle beside Overall and Overall (Competitive), not a separate box.
Admin sections
The new organization applies only to administration. Member views and permissions remain unchanged.
Race entry, stories and IUM popularity
Plus opens Log a race or Write a story. Paste a result URL and choose Validate: unambiguous matched fields are filled, multiple hits can be selected, and missing fields completed manually. Unreadable or protected sources may require manual entry. Save for admin review. For a story select your existing race, add text, photos and ratings. The same entry returns to review and does not count in rankings until reapproved. Admins can Find more club members from this link on pending results, preview matches and explicitly import them. IUM popularity under Club rankings counts distinct active Austrian members per event across all years using approved results; each person once, with total finishes separately. Data maintenance → IUM popularity / grouping expands all included names, dates, distances and participant counts. Years, accents, case and leading edition numbers are normalized; country and discipline stay separate; other differing names remain separate. Disabled club rankings hide the member view; admin maintenance remains available.
Mobile main navigation
The main navigation stays at the bottom of the visible screen while scrolling, retaining space for the iPhone home indicator. Reopen the app or reload the page after updating.
Central ascent by event
Administration → Data maintenance → Events: enter whole ascent meters and Save for all. This replaces ascent for every linked result across members and editions, including future imports and corrections. Multiple events can be selected. Grouping uses event name and country, plus type and distance for other events; only group the same course, using separate names for changed routes. Blank means unknown; zero means no ascent. High Elevation stays separate and applies only to marathons. Ultras and other events also support central ascent; Ironman ascent remains excluded from the running-ascent ranking. Approved results use numeric ascent in profiles, ascent rankings and current Hall of Fame. Admins must re-finalize frozen annual podiums after corrections. Changes are audited.
How to earn a badge
Each special badge has How to earn this badge explaining required races, count, distance, finish-time limit or qualifying window. Only approved results count. Sub-time thresholds must be strictly beaten. Timed ultras require the correct advertised event format, not merely a matching finish time. IUM emblems count Ironman, ultra and marathon results, excluding shorter races. Disabled badges disappear while results are retained. Inactive membership is hidden from other members and cannot sign in; admins can reactivate it. Members cannot enable admin rights themselves. All new special badges automatically count in Badge-Master, club rankings and Hall of Fame, including all ten marathon time tiers and South America. Each badge counts once; IUM membership levels are excluded. Selected years show the cumulative collection by year end. Badge-Master uses current approved data even for finalized years. Disabled badges are excluded from both earned and possible totals.
High Elevation by event
Admins manage High Elevation centrally by event for all linked members. Your result form no longer has an individual flag. Ask an admin to correct the event classification.
Thumbnails below club news
Small thumbnails of public race stories appear below club news. Browse with arrows or swipe. Select a thumbnail to open the full photo and story text. Photos are not stretched across the news panel.
ChatGPT / MCP
Admins can authorize and revoke OAuth connections under ChatGPT / MCP. The prepared tools are find_members, find_results and create_result: search active members and results and, with write permission, add new results, always pending and at most one active race per day. No email addresses, private stories or photos; no overwrite, deletion or approval. A connection must also be configured and tested in ChatGPT. The presence of this app page does not establish an active ChatGPT connection. This MCP does not yet include calendar actions; the new calendar import runs through the web interface.
Marathon time badges
Sub 5:00, 4:30, 4:15, 4:00, 3:45, 3:30, 3:15, 3:00, 2:45 and 2:30 require an approved 42.195 km marathon strictly below the threshold. Each earned tier counts once. Existing results count automatically. Admins can disable each tier in badge settings. International members see badges in their own profile.
Own results, posts & International
Active members can submit and edit their own races. High Elevation lets a marathon count towards Competitive beyond 6 hours. Overall and age-group places are optional. New or edited results require admin approval. Submit/edit posts under Race stories; admins publish drafts. Nationality is admin-managed: AT competes nationally; others appear only in Overall (International). Personal badges remain in own profiles. South America: Montevideo, Lima, Buenos Aires, Asunción and Brasília Monumental, approved marathons since 2023 within 60 months. In-app badge, not an official medal. Ticker photos come only from approved public stories.
Brief waits during high request volume
Unusually frequent requests may show a wait message. Wait and retry; your data is not deleted. Repeated code attempts cause a temporary pause, not a permanent account lockout. A successful code clears this extra backoff. Requesting a new code does not bypass an active pause.
Sign out returns to the public homepage
After signing out successfully, you return to the public homepage. If sign-out fails, the current view stays open and you can retry.
Choose competitive or overall directly
Choose Competitive or Overall beside the ranking heading. Competitive counts marathons up to six hours inclusive plus all ultras and Ironmans. Overall counts all IUMs. Period, gender and age group remain selected. Only permitted rankings are offered.
Admin CSV corrections
Admins can update your results in bulk. At most one active race remains per member and day; populated CSV fields replace stored values, while blanks erase nothing. Additional day duplicates go to trash. Other dates and your profile remain unchanged.
New badges & personal bests
Newly earned badges and personal bests appear automatically in club news and the shared updates widget, normally within 5 minutes. They use your current display name. Approved results of the same race type and distance are compared; timed ultras use the longest distance within the same duration. The first result in a category establishes a benchmark. PB notices only cover races from the last 7 days. Existing achievements are silently baselined when updating. Notices start as members-only and remain visible for 7 days; admins can change publication settings.
Enriching results
Admins can enrich results from CSV in bulk. Empty source fields do not erase existing values. At most one race per member and day continues to count.
Weekly streaks: gaps of up to 10 days
Approved IUMs (Ironman, ultra, marathon) may now be at most 10 calendar days apart. Gaps of 11 days or more start a new streak. This applies to weekly badges, the streak overview and the current streak under My races. The current streak remains active through day 10 after the last IUM. Length is still measured in weeks: 1 + full 7-day intervals between the first and last race. Badge milestones remain 10, 25, 40, 52, 75 and 100 weeks. Existing results are recalculated automatically; no reimport is needed.
Membership without login
Admins can create members and results without email or birth year. Missing nationality defaults to Austria (AT); explicitly supplied countries stay unchanged. Login becomes available when an admin adds a personal email and enables access. Existing results remain linked. Missing birth years do not produce invented age grades.
Weekly streak, race types and result source
My races shows your current IUM weekly streak while the most recent approved IUM is no more than 10 days ago. Gaps of at most 10 days connect races; historical best streaks remain in badges. Admins can hide 5K, 10K and half marathons from views and statistics without deleting data. Recorded result links stay with results, including admin imports.
Faster entry and on-demand loading
Your passport initially loads your own races. Club results load when opening Combined, finishes, stories, member race lists or race entry. Loading is silent; failures still offer Retry. Once loaded, filters and statistics still cover the complete relevant dataset. Profile and avatar changes no longer reload all races.
Ironman collection & combined ranking
Special achievements contains Japan 300, World Runner and Race Organizer. A separate Ironman collection covers one, ten, Double and Triple Ironman. Double/Triple require an approved Ironman event explicitly named as such; multiple ordinary Ironmans do not qualify. Badge result lists show the evidence. I/U/M/Total numbers are centred.
Admin result matching
Buffered club matching is admin-only. At most one active race per member and day can be imported. Ambiguous identities and missing event details require review. Personal entry and its permissions are unchanged.
Rankings, weekly streaks & stages
Combined (Competitive) precedes Combined and counts marathons up to 6 hours plus all ultras and Ironmans. Hover over ranking labels or tap their explanation. Weekly and stage badges are last. Category overviews explain progress. Weekly badges are awarded once per milestone: 10, 25, 40, 52, 75, 100. The overview lists your longest streak, all streaks and gaps between them. More than 7 days starts a new streak, including Saturday to the following Sunday. Stage races are admin-linked tours: daily stages remain individual IUMs; the summary does not count again.
Three passport sections
The passport shows three compact metrics and direct content. Find other sections in the menu. Admin controls and administration require admin rights. Install app remains in the menu but is no longer a tile.
Display names & compact navigation
Your choice under My profile → Display name in the app also applies to signed-in members, rankings, Hall of Fame, calendar and lists. Admin member management retains the real name for identification. Back and breadcrumbs are in the header. The extra club block at the bottom of the sidebar has been removed.
Menu, Competitive & new badges
Dashboard tiles and club menu respect admin-enabled functions. Passport tiles are limited to three key metrics. Marathon (Competitive) counts approved marathons up to and including 6 hours; Combined (Competitive) adds all ultras and Ironmans. I/U/M show subtotals where their categories are visible. Expand the information box for the rules. A first Ironman earns a badge. Weekly badges: 10, 25, 40, 52, 75 and 100 weeks, with at most 10 days between IUMs. Weeks equal 1 + full 7-day intervals between first and last race in an uninterrupted sequence. Daily stages remain separate IUMs; a linked tour counts once in stage rankings. Stage badges at 3, 11, 30 and 50 days; higher levels include lower levels. Open the underlying results in the badge collection.
One race per day
At most one active race per member and calendar day, regardless of title, type or distance. Correct the existing race or ask an admin to merge. A trashed entry cannot be restored when another active race exists on that day.
Admin result research
Targeted AI search and DUV/MarathonAustria person search are admin-only. Member entry remains unchanged.
Filters and sortable club rankings
Public filters appear above the summary tiles. In Combined rankings, tap I, U, M or Total to sort by that count; tap again to reverse the order. Hidden categories remain disabled. Browser scanning is initially an experimental admin feature; members retain standard link checking.
Display names and compact combined ranking
Public and signed-in lists use the selected name format. Hall of Fame uses current profiles even for finalized years. After profile changes, open views refresh when returning to them. Free-form stories are not rewritten. Public combined rankings show I (Ironman), U (Ultra), M (Marathon), Total and sort by Total. Private categories stay hidden. Compact layout for iPhone widths.
Club menu & public homepage
Club rankings is directly available in the club menu. Admins configure menu order separately for sidebar, mobile menu and header. Public order: news and finishes, totals, filters, rankings, country passport, calendar/ratings/Hall of Fame, results and public stories. Results initially show three race dates; Show more loads three more and Show less collapses. Results stay independent of dashboard filters. Tile visibility is preserved, with totals and navigation in separate groups.
Smoother navigation & public results
Results & public stories on the homepage shows all members and distances independently of the top filters. Show more adds three race dates at a time. Requested country or member details appear separately under Selected results. Public Combined rankings add Marathon, Ultra and Ironman; non-public categories show a dash. Race lists initially show 50 matches; Show 50 more expands the list. Filters and totals still use all results. Reopening recently loaded club rankings within 30 seconds reuses the data. New results and locally changed settings refresh the cache.
Annual review, club stars & planning
Annual review: choose a year, write your story and select up to twelve approved results of your own as highlights. Save keeps the review private. Save as PDF / Print opens the browser print dialog; select PDF there. Event ratings combine stars across editions; personal performance is excluded. Every review has equal weight; n/a means no stars. Calendar rows show event, date and participants directly: Join means interested, Fix means planned; Leave removes your plan. Filters: All, My plans, Without me. Details holds registration with the organiser and further information. Club news & running knowledge supports category filters; Health is marked 🩺. Annual rankings opens existing rankings for the current year with all permitted categories.
Choose display name
Under My profile → Display name in the app choose Nickname only, Real name only, Nickname (real name), or Real name (nickname). Save profile to apply. Without a nickname, the real name is shown. The same choice applies to signed-in club members. Finalized Hall-of-Fame years use the current display name.
Club updates
The top ticker rotates every seven seconds and loops back to the first item. In Administration → Club announcements, set lookback days and minimum counts separately for finish events and club news. If fewer recent items exist, the newest older eligible items remain until enough new items arrive. Expired, disabled or unauthorized news never count as fallbacks. Opening details pauses rotation.
Public club calendar
The Club calendar tile on the public homepage opens upcoming events from today. Choose a month and press Show. Event name, date, city, country, type and distance are visible. Participants, personal plans, photos and internal notes remain in the member area.
Latest finishes
The ticker shows events from the last seven calendar days including today, using race dates. Event and category appear above participants with finish times. Old races entered later do not appear. Club news with Public audience is also visible without signing in. The 5pacer logo now uses the transparent file.
Board photos
Our board displays an optional photo per person. Active entries and their photos are publicly visible.
Story: With club members
When creating or editing a race story, use With to search and select multiple active club members. Save to apply. Names appear with the story only for authorized readers. Public and signed-in views use each member’s chosen display name. This does not create results for anyone else. Birth year is removed from story views; race lists retain birth year and approximate age.
Race-entry permission and Ask me
Race entry is visible only after an admin enables it for you; otherwise the plus button and entry action are hidden. Existing own results can still be edited. Admins can always create entries. Ask me appears at the top if globally enabled: type a question, Send or Cancel. Your name and contact address accompany it. It is stored as text under Reviews → Requests, not sent by email. Only admins can read and mark it done.
Compact badges and adjusted times
The badge collection is more compact; Japan 300 is unchanged. World Runner counts 40,075 approved running kilometres across all race types, with Ironmans contributing only the 42.195 km run leg. Ironman × 10 requires ten approved Ironmans. Only admins award Race Organizer, assigning at least one organized event, viewable on the badge. Active special badges count in Badge Master; IUM milestones do not. Badge Master is last, after Race series. My races shows your age-adjusted time when globally enabled, independently of the club ranking audience; with ascent also enabled, only the combined adjusted time is shown. Missing data is a dash. Age at race is race year minus birth year, approximately year-end age. Only one result per person per calendar day is allowed.
Admin corrections
Admins can correct results or move them to trash. Trashed results are hidden from your race list and current rankings. Ask an admin to restore them.
Mobile: menu & compact view
On mobile the header contains the club logo (passport), My passport/Overall and the ☰ menu. Find help, language, sign out, calendar, board and other sections in the menu. Open club news and finishes through their tiles. All seven tiles are clickable: IUM and Running distance open all race types for the selected year, clearing search, country and category filters. Countries opens the world map; a flag opens that country’s races. Planned races, Hall of Fame, Badges and News open their own views. News contains club announcements and approved finishes of all race types from the last seven calendar days, grouped by date and event. The elevation tile is removed; recorded elevation data remains. My races shows search plus Filters and removable active-filter chips. Bottom navigation remains. Back returns to the previous view.
Sign in & navigation
Your club admin creates your account. Sign in with your registered email and the code sent to you. Check spam and your address if no code arrives. “Stay signed in for 90 days” remembers this device; sign out on shared devices. The top bar contains stories (book), installation (download), language and help (?). On mobile, the bottom bar opens your passport, races, race entry, rankings and profile. Six motivational slogans rotate every five seconds on the homepage and passport. Use the small pause button to stop rotation and play to resume. A labelled Sign out button is available in the top bar and under Your account in the profile. It ends the session on this device. The former Your data panel and account deletion option have been removed for members. Contact an admin to request deletion. Club rankings use compact rows: name and title, adjacent ordered badges and the result on the right. Nationality is no longer displayed there.
Your passport & badges
Your passport shows results, a country map and statistics. The year filter narrows your totals. Titles and IUM badges always count all approved Ironman, ultra and marathon results. Shorter races remain in your journal but do not increase your IUM title. A collection badge is earned every 25 IUMs. The title overview leads from Aspirant to 100MCA Eternal. Austria 6, World 8 and European Classics 8 are app awards, not official organiser certificates. Ask an admin to check the mapping if a known marathon is missing. Clicking a country flag directly opens its race list. The passport retains the selected year; the profile opens all years. Search text and distance filters are reset. Switch between My passport and Overall · Club at the top. Overall shows approved results of active members with a year filter, country map and latest finishes. Personal badges remain attached to your own passport. From 100 approved IUMs, your title is 100MCA Centurion (until the next title at 150). Personal highlights show achieved marathon time milestones and counts: under 5:00, 4:00, 3:45, 3:30, 3:15, 3:00, 2:50, 2:45 and 2:30 hours. Only approved marathons in the selected period count. Zero counts stay hidden; an exact threshold time does not count as under it. Every title from 100 IUMs includes the 100MCA prefix, such as 100MCA Chief, 100MCA Legend and 100MCA Titan.
Log or correct a race
Open Log a race or the plus button. First, check a public HTTPS result link. The crawler searches supported HTML tables and CSV pages only for your profile name, optionally checking nationality and birth year. Copy a matching result into the form, review it and fill missing data. Clear, complete results from enabled sources count immediately when saved unchanged. Other sources, additions or edits require admin approval. Always review the result yourself. Optional AI metadata requires configured AI access. JavaScript portals, PDFs or unclear tables may need a CSV export or manual entry. You can enter manually without a link. Open an existing own race to edit it; only admins can delete races. Admins can edit or hide shared stories. Moderation settings are indicated in the edit form and preserved on save. Personal “Only me” stories stay private.
Stories, ratings & photos
Add star ratings, a story and up to four photos to a race. Tap a thumbnail to enlarge it. Choose whether your story is private, club-only or public. Approved result data may be publicly visible independently of the story. The book icon opens shared stories.
Plan races & meet club members
At the top of the club calendar, select a year-independent marathon, ultra or Ironman from the club archive. Years and start times are removed for this catalogue only; historical results remain unchanged. Then click “Search the web for the next date”. AI access must be configured. Check the linked organiser source and select a date, or choose “Enter date manually”. A plan is created only when saved. Matching existing calendar entries are shown first so you can join them directly. Use “Plan a race” for missing events. Upcoming events are shown by default; a plan is not a result. See other participants and remove your participation if needed. The event selector shows the country flag first, followed by race name and city. The selected event is highlighted. Filter by race category. Web search checks race type and distance. An evidenced official name appears in the suggestion; Use name & date copies both into the new plan. Historical results are not renamed. Different ultra distances remain separate.
Club rankings & Hall of Fame
Compare categories, period, gender and age group. Categories can be public, members-only or admin-only. Individual approved results remain public independently. Expanded series show dates, locations and distance. Series require three consecutive days with qualifying IUM finishes and belong to the year of their final day. Rankings opens the compact Hall of Fame: category, men on the left and women on the right, each with top-three places. Choose a year or All time. Ties share a rank. All-time standings update continuously; admins can finalise past years. All three rank positions are shown; positions without eligible performances say Unfilled. Ties use 1, 1, 3 and skipped positions are labelled. Unspecified gender is not assigned to men’s or women’s podiums. More than five people tied in first, second or third place are shown as Many instead of names; up to five are named individually. The shared value stays visible.
Profile, club news & installation
Add a nickname in your profile and choose it as your display name. Public result lists, ticker, stories and Hall of Fame then use that name. Signed-in members also see the chosen display name. Result matching continues to use your real profile name. Story text, photos and external result pages can still identify you. Collapse and expand Club News using the header button. Keep nation, birth year and language up to date. Install via Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone or the browser installation menu on Android. Internet is required.
Board & contact
The crown icon beside the help question mark opens the Board section. It lists published names, roles and contact emails. Clicking an email opens your email app. This directory is also available without signing in. Admins can maintain a multiline tasks and responsibilities block (up to 4,000 characters) for each person. It is public for active entries. Empty blocks are hidden.
Age grading & ascent adjustment
When enabled and visible to you, result details show adjusted comparison values. Only approved 42.195 km marathons qualify. USATF MLDR 2025: time times age factor; percent = open standard divided by adjusted time times 100. Approximate year-end age in the race year is used because only birth year is stored. Rankings use each person’s best percentage in the selected year or all time; higher is better. Missing birth year, missing applicable sex category or age outside 5–100: no age grade. Missing ascent: no ascent adjustment; null differs from known zero metres. Experimental flat time = time × km / (km + ascent / 100). The combined score applies the age factor to this estimate. Terrain, descents and weather are not included; not an official ITRA time score. Original times remain unchanged.
Combined ranking with marathon time limit
Combined (marathons ≤ 6 h) counts approved marathons up to and including 6:00:00 or marked High Elevation plus every approved ultra and Ironman regardless of time. Marathons over six hours are excluded only from this additional ranking. Normal combined totals and IUM badges are unchanged. Year, gender and age filters apply as before.
Calendar plans and collection badges
For an event in your plans, toggle Registered with organiser: Yes/No directly. New plans start with No. This only records your external registration; it does not register you. Removing a plan also removes its registration status. Rankings and Hall of Fame display collection badges beside names when AT 6, World 8 or European Classics are complete. Tap for the label. Collections always count all years, including in annual rankings. The calendar selector merges clear name aliases, years and trailing /1 or /2 suffixes; saved race results remain unchanged. Night/trail variants and different locations remain separate. Your plan offers two clear choices: Interested and Planned, with the active choice highlighted. A separate Yes/No organiser registration switch appears below. New events can also be saved as Interested or Planned. Page headings are more compact. Sign-in on this device remains visible to all users; approvals and administration are admin-only.
Adjusted times
Results show adjusted times and percentages. Age and combined age/ascent rankings and Hall of Fame show the adjusted time prominently with the percentage below. Ranking order still uses percentages to account for sex-specific standards. These are estimates, not actual finish times. Missing data remains not calculable. Global switches and audience settings still apply.
My races at a glance
My races shows category (💎 ultra, 💪 Ironman), distance in km, original time and average pace. If age grading is available to you, it also shows adjusted time and percentage. Missing or ineligible values display a dash. Ironman total time is not used for running pace. On mobile, columns become compact cards. Click the event name for details.
Open races from club rankings
Click a member’s name in club rankings to open their approved races for the selected ranking year. Search races or cities and change year or category. Back to club rankings retains the previous ranking selection. Race details continue to respect story and photo permissions. Categories: 🏃 marathon, 💎 ultra, 💪 Ironman.
Compact Hall of Fame
Hall of Fame shows podium places, names and scores without Majors/Classic collection badges. Those remain visible in club rankings and badge collections.
Club results by country
Country flags on the public homepage and Overall · Club open approved results from active members in that country across all years, fastest original time first. Categories are mixed; this is not a distance-adjusted comparison. Pagination retains the country filter. Display name in the apps and story permissions remain respected.
Japan 300
At 300 approved marathon finishes, you automatically earn Japan 300 with a red sun on white and the 100MCA logo. All years and countries count; ultras and Ironmans do not. Progress is shown before earning it. This is an in-app award, not confirmation of inclusion in an external list. Once earned, it also appears next to your name in public and member club rankings, regardless of the ranking year. It remains hidden in Hall of Fame.
Latest results on the homepage
The homepage results ticker is sorted by race date, newest races first. For the same race date, the most recently published result comes first. Country result lists remain sorted by fastest time.
Results by race day
Homepage results are grouped by date, newest days first, then event, city and distance with members sorted by fastest finish time. Each page contains ten complete race days. Different categories and distances stay separate. Country-flag result lists retain fastest-time ordering.
Races behind a podium
Click a name in Hall of Fame to see approved races contributing to that category and year. Best time, longest race and adjusted performance show the decisive results including ties. Series use their final day for year assignment. Lists use current data, which can differ from finalized podiums after later corrections. Category visibility also applies to this list.
Compact homepage
Hall of Fame is directly below Our country passport. Club-news headlines rotate every seven seconds; click to expand the full post. Rotation pauses while reading; Pause and Previous/Next controls are available. Club rankings share the country passport year filter. Initially ten participants are shown; Show all expands the list. Filter changes reset it to ten. Results and stories remain grouped by date and event/location, with participants sorted by finish time.
Passport selection in the header
My passport / Overall is at the top of the member area, immediately left of Sign out. It is available from every section and opens your passport or the club overview. On mobile the selector and Sign out stay together, with the remaining icons below.
Moving teasers
Club news and latest finishes are clickable teasers sliding from right to left every seven seconds. Expanding news pauses it. In the member passport, clicking a result opens its details and pauses; on the public homepage it jumps to the results list. Play resumes. Device reduced-motion settings disable the sliding animation.
Back & navigation
Member-area navigation now creates browser history entries. Browser Back and the Back button return through previously opened sections, restoring search, year, country and ranking filters. After a direct entry, the Back button returns to the passport. Breadcrumbs show your section; the club logo opens your personal passport. At the beginning of browser history, browser Back can still leave the app.
Compact mobile navigation
On mobile, the club logo, passport selector and sign-out share the top row. Board, help, stories, installation, language and profile icons appear below. The club logo opens your passport. Compact spacing leaves more room for results; all header actions have touch targets of at least 44 pixels.
Sign-in and activity
Admins can see your latest sign-in and activity time in the member app. Activity updates roughly every five minutes while the app is open and visible. Individual pages visited are not recorded.
Compact rankings
Club rankings group IUM and special badges below the member name. The selected category value appears once. Series additionally show their kilometres. Rows adapt to mobile screen width.
Filter IUM together
My races and member race lists offer IUM – Ironman, Ultra & Marathon as a combined category. It excludes shorter races and combines with year and search filters.
Symbols & world explorer badges
Race symbols: ordinary/other races 🏃🏼♂️, marathon 👑, ultra 💎, Ironman 🦾. Recognised approved marathon collections add World 8 ⭐️, Austrian Majors 🍄 or European Classics 🇪🇺; a race can have several collection markers. Collections include Europe Explorer (Europe country-pass list including territories and UK home nations), EU Grand Tour (27 EU countries), Seven Continents, Global Ice Explorer (7 continents plus Arctic), and Polar Explorer (Arctic + Antarctica). Only approved IUM finishes count, across all years. Checklists show missing destinations. Continents use country classification, approximate for transcontinental states. Arctic recognition initially covers only the locations/events explained on the badge. Earned geography badges also appear in club rankings.
Latest finishes – recent races
Latest finishes shows the category and icon for approved races from the last 30 calendar days including today (Austrian local time). Race date determines eligibility, not entry or edit date. Future results and historical additions stay out of the ticker but remain in result lists.
Badge artwork, races and completion date
Collections have distinct artwork: Alps/Austria, EU stars, globe, compass and aurora/ice. Marathon collections show the best time and its date per event; expand to see all matching results. Country/continent checklists show the first qualifying IUM with date and time and expand to all matching results. Complete since is the date when the final missing target was first completed; later personal bests do not change it.
Homepage club rankings
Homepage club rankings show rank, one IUM milestone badge before the clickable name and the value. The badge uses approved lifetime IUMs; below 25, A indicates Aspirant. Special badges remain hidden here.
Club overview, stories and version check
Switch between My passport and Overall beside Sign out. Overall shows clickable club-news and recent-finish teasers, the country map, Hall of Fame and club rankings. The year filter is shared by the map and rankings. Ten members appear initially; Show all expands the full ranking. Results and stories are grouped by race date descending, event, then finish time ascending. More results adds the next ten race days. The public ranking shows only an IUM milestone badge before the name; special badges remain in collections and internal detailed rankings. Version and build ID appear at the bottom of the homepage and member area. Version 1.3.7 consolidates all previous 1.3.6 revisions.
IUM club view & country champions
The public club view and Overall in the member area show only approved marathons, ultras and Ironmans (IUMs). Short races stay in your own passport. Clicking a country flag in Overall opens country champions: most IUMs in the country and the fastest marathon per member. Three people appear initially; Show all expands each list. Equal values share a place. The associated race list contains only IUMs. Country flags open all years; you can change the year on the destination page. Rankings respect Combined and Best time visibility: public, club-only or admins-only. Internal club rankings show compact badges beside the name, with title and country in a small secondary line.
Ultra format and city
For ultras choose Unknown, Distance, Timed, Backyard or Stage. Timed events also require the scheduled duration in hours, e.g. 6, 12, 24 or 48. Actual kilometres and result time remain separate. City is optional and shown as n/a when missing. All unknown cities count as one place; a known country still counts. Existing ultras remain Unknown until edited or imported.
Home, club news and compact calendar
The public home displays finishes and publicly released club news in one widget. Followed by: country passport and flags, clickable tiles, period/passport filters, club rankings and results with public stories. Races opens all distances; IUMs only Ironman/ultra/marathon. Countries shows IUM counts per country for the selected period and passport. Hall of Fame includes holders of enabled special badges; a selected year shows collections achieved by year end. Personal passport has separate Club news and Finishes tiles. Finishes contains results and publicly shared stories with a year filter. Calendar uses one search field: type, select a suggestion or plan a new event. Suggestions use recorded results and calendar events. Each event group has a compact three-line summary. Expand to see participants, planning status, registration, images and editing.
New country and ultra badges
Country badges are awarded for 50, 100, 150 and all 198 destinations on the fixed badge checklist: 193 UN members plus Holy See/Vatican and Palestine, replacing the UK with England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Approved IUMs only, once per destination. Territories outside the list do not count for these four badges; the general passport is unchanged. Checklists display flags. Europe Explorer excludes Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man and Gibraltar. Timed badges require an approved ultra explicitly recorded as a 6/12/24/48-hour event, not just elapsed time. Distance badges require at least 50/80/100/150 km or 100 miles in one ultra; longer races also meet lower thresholds. 100M is 160.9344 km, and 100M+ exceeds it (1 m rounding tolerance). Separate races are not added together. Open club results using Latest club finishes.
Planning and saving
Interested and Going are compact buttons. For existing events, status and external registration save immediately. When creating or editing an event, press Save beside the heading or in the bottom action bar. Editing scrolls to the form. Going replaces the previous Planned button label.
Compact overview & Badge Master
Public filters for period, passport, gender, ranking and age group sit above the map. Show applies them to rankings and results too. The personal passport removes duplicate news rows and repeated name; news and finishes are directly visible and also available in the menu. Race lists show birth year and one adjusted time: age, or age+ascent when both are enabled. Missing calculation data shows a dash. Calendar planning starts in search; “plan new” creates a race. Year/month have no extra heading; Save remains visible while editing. Clear spelling variants are consolidated in suggestions only; stored results remain unchanged. Hover or tap symbols for explanations. Ultra badges have distinctive artwork and smaller collection sizes. Europe Explorer no longer requires Åland. 0–24 approved IUMs receive the hatchling membership badge. Badge Master counts earned out of enabled special badges, excluding hatchling and IUM levels. A selected year uses the collection achieved by year end. Admins configure visibility like other rankings; initially members only. Disabled special badges count in neither numerator nor denominator. In Hall of Fame → Badges, clicking a clubmate opens only approved IUMs qualifying for that badge, respecting the selected year cutoff. Repeated qualifying races remain visible, rather than arbitrarily showing only the first race per country.
Missing a special badge?
Ask a club admin to run a badge audit. They can check whether an approved race was missed because its name differs. Reopen the collection or reload after a confirmed assignment. Audits and assignment changes are admin-only.
Results from statistics portals
DUV person searches and MarathonAustria imports are admin-only. Ask an admin to compare your results. The existing personal result-link validation is separate.
Statistical IUM count corrections
Administration → IUM count corrections displays actual eligible recorded races and the saved totals. +23 adds 23; -2 subtracts two. Individual records are not replaced or deleted. Review the preview before saving. Legacy replacement balances are preserved until explicitly removed. Example: remove an old replacement value of 23 before adding +23 to 463 recorded marathons to reach 486. Every operation requires a reason and is audited. Retried identical requests are never applied twice. Statistical values are marked * and count in all-time Total, AT, International and Competitive, not in country, time or yearly statistics. Austrian first or additional citizenship qualifies for Austrian rankings; no nationality letters appear before names.
Faster club statistics
Club rankings group approved results per member in one pass and briefly cache read-only source data per statistics revision. Member and result changes use a new revision; authentication is never cached.
Country Titans – Country badges and rankings
Country Titans are shown from 3 approved IUM finishes in one country. Only the highest level of 3/5/10/20/50/75/100 is shown in the badge collection. Country Rankings are available via Club Rankings → Country Titans, internationally ranked by finishes and marathon average pace (pace requires 3 valid marathons). Double/triple Ironman count once; opening balances never count.
