Certificates are a great way to reward participants with a personal memory and a shareable record of their performance. RACE RESULT 12 allows you to generate and publish customized certificates for your participants directly online through my.raceresult.com.

Designing the Certificate Template

The process begins in the Output > Certificate section of your event file. Here, you can design the layout and content of your certificate. The certificate editor allows you to place dynamic fields such as the participant’s name, finish time, position, or any other relevant data. You can fully customize the design to reflect your event’s branding.

Defining Eligibility via Certificate Sets

Once your template is ready, go to Output > Certificate Sets. This section allows you to define which participants should receive which certificate. You can create multiple sets, each linked to a different certificate template, if needed.

For example, you might want to create separate certificates for different race distances, or only assign certificates to finishers. Certificate Sets use filters to target specific groups of participants based on result lists, timing points, or custom conditions.

Publishing Certificates Online

In the my.raceresult.com > Certificates/Details section, you can choose which Certificate Sets to publish and for which contests. You can enable or disable each set as needed, or set a time range during which the certificates will be available. By default, the system shows a preview of the certificate based on your design, but you can upload a custom image if you prefer. You can also change the name shown for the certificate by setting a custom label instead of using the default name of the Certificate Set.

Linking Certificates to the Personal Results Page

To show certificates directly on the personal results page, make sure the option “Link personal results page with certificates & details list” is enabled in each of the online pages you decided to publish.

When this is active, a pop-up window appears when a participant clicks on their result. This window shows extra details about their timing and also includes links to any certificates available for that participant.
