Publish the Aftershow

Open the Aftershow on the event’s Event & Access page, now or at a time you pick, so runners can replay their race against the field. Before or after it opens, check in the Aftershow itself that the tracks run over your map.

Before you begin

• The map and courses uploaded, the courses with control coordinates. See Upload maps and courses.
• A role on the event that can change Public under Access. See Event roles on the Roles and permissions page.
• Runners’ tracks: runners connect their own runs, as described in Put your run in the Aftershow.

Open the Aftershow

1. Open the event from Events → Organizing, then select Event & Access under Manage.
2. Under Access, in Public, select the button beside Aftershow, then Public now. It asks Publish Aftershow now? first, because the Aftershow can reveal the course to runners who have not started yet. Select Publish Aftershow now once the race has ended, or while the runners still to start are in quarantine.

This publishes the Aftershow alone. Turn on Results too if the results should be public, as described in Choose what the public can see on the Control who sees your event page.

To have the Aftershow open by itself at a set time instead, select Opens at event end or Opens at a time… in the same menu, as described in Schedule a release on the Control who sees your event page.

Check the Aftershow

1. Open the event from Events → Organizing, then select File upload under Manage, and read the Aftershow card under Healthcheck. Healthcheck lines on the Event files page explains each line.
2. In the event’s menu, select Aftershow. While it is not public, the row carries Not public and still opens: you can open it, the public cannot. With an opening time set, it carries that time instead, such as at 20:00. A gray row reading Empty does not open: no runner is in the Aftershow yet.
3. In a class with tracks, check that they run over your map, with the course drawn on it, and not over a street map.

Troubleshooting

Check the Aftershow

No map uploaded, or the tracks run over a street map: the event has no base map, so the Aftershow draws on the street map underneath. Upload the map as described in Upload maps and courses.

No courses uploaded: the event has no course file, so the Aftershow shows the routes without the course. Upload the courses as described in Upload the courses on the Upload maps and courses page.

Courses aren’t drawn on the map: the course file has no control coordinates. Re-export the courses with control coordinates and upload them as described in Upload the courses on the Upload maps and courses page.

No GPS tracks yet: no runner has connected a run to the event. While every view under Public is Hidden, runs cannot connect to the event, as Connect it to your event on the Put your run in the Aftershow page describes. Turn on Results or Aftershow, or wait for the scheduled time, and runs connect then. Point runners without a connected run to Put your run in the Aftershow.
