# Participants Menu

The **Participants Menu** in **RUFUS Race Manager (RRM)** is your primary tool for managing all participant-related tasks for your events.

## Accessing the Participants Menu

The **Participants Menu** is located on the left-hand side of the interface, represented by the **person icon** in the Sidebar Menu. Clicking on this icon will open the Participants section, where you can view and manage all participants within your event.

## Components of the Participants Menu

### 1. Participant Lists

The Participants Menu is divided into multiple categories to help you organize participants according to their respective races, which are previously created within the event. These categories include:

* **All**: Displays a complete list of participants across all races within the event.
* **21K**: Shows only participants registered for the **10K** race.
* **3k fun run**: Shows only participants registered for the **3k fun run** race.

### 2. Add Participants

Below the participant lists, you will find the **Add Participants** section. This section provides two options for adding participants to your event:

* **Add New**: Click the **"Add New"** button to manually add a participant. This allows you to enter all relevant participant details individually, such as bib number, name, gender, and age group.
* **Import from List**: Click the **"Import from List"** button to import participants in bulk from an external file (CSV is available for the moment). This feature is particularly useful when dealing with a large number of participants, saving time and effort.
