# Publish Participants Information

Before race day, organizers can publish participant information to RUFUS Events App so athletes, teams, clubs, and spectators can review the participant list before the event.

This allows athletes to verify their registration details in advance and helps organizers reduce corrections, questions, and data issues on race day.

## How to Publish Participants

To publish the participant list:

1. Open the event in RUFUS Race Manager.
2. Navigate to the Participants tab.
3. Click the cloud icon to publish participant details.
4. The participant list will be made available in RUFUS Events App.

After publishing, the information is sent through RUFUS Cloud and displayed on the public event page according to the event visibility and publication settings.

## RUFUS Events App Publication

Once published, the participant list is updated in RUFUS Events App automatically.

The public participant list refreshes instantly, so organizers can make several updates in RUFUS Race Manager and then publish them without requiring visitors to manually refresh the page.

## Published Participant Data

The participant information shown in RUFUS Events App may include:

* Participant name
* Bib number
* Country
* Gender
* Birth year
* Race
* Category
* Club
* Team
* City
* Additional registration fields, depending on the event configuration

The exact information displayed may vary depending on the event setup and the fields enabled for publication.

## Athlete Search

Visitors can search the participant list by athlete name or bib number.

This makes it easier for athletes to verify their own registration and for spectators, clubs, and teams to find specific participants before and during the event.

## Benefits of Publishing Participants

Publishing participant information before race day helps:

* Athletes confirm their registration data.
* Organizers detect possible errors earlier.
* Clubs and teams review their registered members.
* Spectators find athletes they want to follow.
* The public event page feel active before results are available.

This integration between RUFUS Race Manager, RUFUS Cloud, and RUFUS Events App keeps participant information accessible, searchable, and ready for the live event experience.
