Set up age validations for distances and classes

Good to know

• Minimum birthdate = the earliest birthdate allowed. Use it to set a maximum age.
• Maximum birthdate = the latest birthdate allowed. Use it to set a minimum age.
• Leave a field empty to skip that limit.
• The Age validations and Classes steps only show in the Steps menu once you turn them on under Additional Options.

1. Age validation for a distance

Example: only participants under 18 can register for the distance.

1. Log in to Pace Admin and open your race.

2. Under Distances, click … next to the distance and select Edit.

3. Click Additional Options and turn on Age validations.

Participants with a birthdate outside the range cannot register for the distance.

2. Age and gender validation for a class
