Medals are a great setting to use to reward your runners for completing a race, virtual race, or virtual challenge. Medals can be displayed on individual results pages for any participants who have either completed a race or a virtual challenge, or, just a portion of a virtual challenge.
To learn how to create digital medals, please follow the steps below.
1. Log in to your dashboard as an Event Organizer.
2. Navigate to the left of your screen to the search box and search and select Results.
You will then be redirected to the Timer dashboard and the results platform.
3. On the left-hand menu, click Medals.
4. Enable medals by clicking the toggle on.
5. Click + Add medal and begin to fill out the required empty fields. You will need to give the medal a name in the medal title field and select which race or challenge you want to apply the medal to. Additional options are available if you want to establish a team medal (only applies if a relay is enabled) and if you want to limit the number of medals that are issued. Medals can also be assigned by a language based on filtering.
