About Sub-events

All Events are broken down into sub-events. Sub-events are what participants sign up for. An event can have more than one sub-event. If, for example, your event has multiple races on a given weekend, we recommend that you make each race for your event into a sub-event.

Importantly, sub-events are where you set the pricing for your event. For paid events, organizers can choose a simple price or tiered pricing, where the price increases closer to the event. Organizers can also choose sliding scale pricing with an optional minimum, e.g. "Pay what you want above $20;" this is popular for kids races, as well as VIP experiences.

Sub-events can have their own descriptions separate from the event, and are where you control waitlists, participant limits, and minimum and maximum age requirements.

Your sub-event can have different dates than the event. If you set event and registration dates on a sub-event, they override the event-level dates. You can also order sub-events on your event page.

Sub-events are important when setting up a Series. In order to create a Series, an organizer must specifc the sub-events that are a part of the Series pass. These sub-events will then be made available for those registering for a Series. Combined sub-events

Combined sub-events let you set limits on the number of participants that span multiple sub-events. For example, if your event has paid a marathon and 5k, and a free kids races, you could set a combined sub-event limit on the marathon and 5k to cap the number of paid entries.
