Adding participants

By The Fun Run Fundraiser Team, Customer Support Updated October 11, 2026 1 min read

Every participant gets their own page for collecting donations, with their name, their goal and their progress. Participants don't need an account; you and your team manage them.

Adding a participant

In the event's menu, choose Participants, then Add Participant.
Enter their First name and Last name. Public pages show the name as your event's privacy setting allows.
Optionally add a parent's or guardian's Email. See Parent and guardian emails.
Choose their Grade and Class.
Set a Personal goal. It starts at $100.
Leave Active (page is public) ticked.

Then choose Save, or Save and Add Another.

Tip: Save and Add Another keeps the grade, class and goal you just used, so typing in a class roster is quick: just the names, one student after another.

Got a lot of students?

On Plus and Premium you can paste a whole roster at once (Bulk adding participants) or bring students across from another event (Copying participants from another event).

Setting goals

A personal goal gives each student something to aim for, and their page shows a progress bar toward it. A goal the student can reach, and then beat, is more motivating than a big one. Many schools use $100 to $250.
