From ParkRun Race Director – Information on how to update a profile on the parkrun website, as we often get emails from Silver Striders who want to have your group included next to their name in the results section.
If your members want to update their profile, we’re unable to do that on our end. They will need to log on to the parkrun registration website,
Once they sign in there is a menu of items including ‘Groups.’ Clicking on that opens a new page where you can add the running group you are part of.
