After your race add your race results
Be sure to add the Vocabulary information about your race, this is how it is gets in the groups such as Half-marathons or Iowa marathons
The items labeled Vocabularies are used for the labels at the top of the page. These are necessary to get 5k races in the 5k classification and New York races in the New York group. This makes is possible to find your race in these groupings and adds more links to your race making it easier to find on a search engine such as Google. You must use the spelling already there by choosing from the drop down choices, for example if you put NYC instead of New York you will not be in that group. Read more about Categories Vocabularies are the categories at the top each event. The category 5k is a list of all 5k races. These are used to make your event more findable. To get into a category
you have to use the exact spelling for that city or place. Adding city and state or other incorrect information on the same line will cause it to be blank. Vocabularies
with a circle at the end of the line have a drop down list to make this easier. Type the first few letters and wait a few seconds (the circle will spin) for the drop down
list, click on the right one. See the style sheet in the user menu for more on spelling prefixes like fort and saint. Adding city and state on the line or other extra things
on any line will cause the whole line to blank.

Listing Your Races
Have your race found Use the full month name such April instead Apr. You could also use both in your listing.
Use only words in your listing that people would search for. For example spelling out kilometer is bad since no uses that when searching. If you use kilometer and they search for 5k your race won’t be found. Try to guess the exact text they would search for. This should be contained in your listing.
Searching For Races
You can find races by searching for keywords such as 5k or any word that you think will be in the listings you might be looking for. To find races in Springfield, search for that or you could type in March and search for races in March. Searching for marathons may get no results while searching for marathon will get many results.
