Host and organiser

Where: Setup → Host

Who is running this event, as participants see it. This is the block on the public site that says who is behind the event, and it feeds the branding on outgoing email.

Showing the host

The visibility toggle decides whether the organiser block appears publicly at all.

Turn it on when the organiser is part of why people sign up — a charity, a club, a brand people recognise. Turn it off for events where the organiser is not the story.

Host User

The account that owns this event.

This matters for one non-obvious reason: host activity is excluded from leaderboards and rankings. If the host account records activities, they will not appear in the standings competing against real participants.

If your own team's rides are showing up in the rankings, the host user is the first thing to check.

Display Name

The organiser name participants see. Use the organisation's name, not an individual's — "Singapore Cycling Federation", not "Jane from SCF".

This is separate from the account's own name, so the account can belong to a person while the public name is the organisation.

Header Text

The short line above the organiser name. Typically:

• "Organised by"
• "In support of"
• "Presented by"
• "In aid of"

Choose the one that describes the relationship truthfully. For a fundraiser where the organiser and the beneficiary differ, this is the distinction participants use to tell them apart.

Logo

The organiser's logo, shown on the public site and used in email branding.

Upload, then save

Uploading the image and saving the page are two separate steps. Upload the logo, crop it, then press Save. If you navigate away after uploading but before saving, the logo is not attached.

Use a version that reads at small sizes — it appears in email headers where it may be only a few dozen pixels tall. A logo with fine detail or small text turns to mush there.

Host Description

A short paragraph about the organisation, shown under the organiser name.

Two or three sentences. What the organisation does, and why it is running this event. Participants read this once, when deciding whether to trust the event enough to enter their card details.

Organiser Profile image

Separate from the logo: a profile image for the organiser, used where the platform shows the host as a participant-like entity.

You can upload a file or set it from a URL, and remove it later.
