Example: A race has one registration but is offering a race anywhere 5K option or 10K option. Each of these will need to have an event set up in the wizard so that users can select the correct event in RaceJoy. You can hide these from registration as needed.

This creates the tracking period for each course and will turn on and off the RaceJoy tracking ability for the event.
