Import Your Runners

This is a great way to get everyone in your school set up quickly so you can start running!

This will likely need you to do some formatting of data for Run:ED to accept your upload, so here are a couple of helpful videos to simplify the process. Or, if you prefer, there are some written instructions below which you can follow!

In this video, Archie takes you through how to download the CSV template and what your data needs to look like for the platform to be able to interpret it when you hit upload!

In this 2nd part, Archie gives you some top tips to quickly format your existing pupil information spreadsheet to be compatible with Run:ED’s importer.

As promised, here’s some written guidance to take you through the process (if you’d like more information, there’s a lot more in the videos!):

Click on the ‘Actions’ dropdown button in the top right of the page and select ‘Import Runners via CSV’ — this will open the Import Runners pop-up window 👇
If this is your first time using the Runner importer, click the ‘Download the CSV template’ link just under the uploader box 👇
Open the downloaded CSV file; you’ll see a series of columns set up with some example Runner information has been pre-filled for you to reference.
Feel free to delete the example Runner information, and replace it with your School’s Runner details — just be careful not to change the top row headers!
Once you’ve filled it out and made sure each Runner has something in the columns marked with a ‘(*)’, save the file, and re-upload it to the Import Runners pop-up window you originally downloaded it from (see Step 1).
Click ‘Start Import’, and your Runners will start importing.
This shouldn’t take long, and you’ll receive an email (to the email address you entered when signing up) to let you know the import has been completed.
At this point, you can return to the Runners page, and you should see it fully populated!
