Renewing Your Registration Site Using Our "Copy Listing" Tool
Using our "copy listing" tool will allow you to copy over the event set up from last year and create a new registration site within a few minutes. This set up process will automatically copy over your entry fees, billing information, and contact information, while giving you the option to copy over event details, questions and more. This will save you time!
After your site is created you will be able to go back and update/customize the rest of your registration site. Follow these easy steps to do it yourself:
- Go to www.active.com/explorer
- Type in your username and password, click log in
- Select the listing you would like to copy from the drop down bar located in the top left
- Select "Copy Listing"
- A pop up box will appear called a wizard and will walk you through setting up your new registration listing. This will copy over the basic set up of your past registration site.
NOTE: pop–ups must be enabled in order to continue
- Once this wizard is done you will get a message that says "Congratulations! Your listing has been created!" – click OK
- You can now edit & update the rest of your registration site
Things to review/check over once the site is created:
- Event details "General Listing Information" folder –> "Standard Details" & "Custom Details"
- Registration questions "Customization" folder –> "Questions"
- Registration messages "Customization" folder –> "Registration Messages"

Calabasas Classic 5K 10K Runs

A run for the community...
I grew up in a family that was always participating in group events. For over 20 years, my family was active in the LA Wheelman Bicycle Club, serving as chairs of various committees and holding various offices, up to and including president. During this time, we took over management of the GWBR, a three day cycling event. So, I got a lot of experience in event management.
When my husband and I moved to the West Valley in 2001, we decided it would be fun to put on a running event. There weren’t too many in the area and Calabasas is a beautiful city and a great location. Around the same time, we had also decided to start a charity to help families with members battling cancer and the two ideas fed on each other. Both were focused on the local community and we believed if we considered all the various stakeholders, we could really have a nice event.
We worked with the City, the various homeowners’ associations Calabasas, the chamber of Commerce and the families we were supporting to develop ideas that would make it a great event for all of them. We’re also athletic and have raced in many runs, cycling events and triathlons over the years, so we had a good idea of what the athletes would be looking for in an event.
Our first few years were really experimental, as we tried lots of different things to determine what kind of event we wanted to be. We fairly quickly settled on being an event for the whole community, where they could bring their family and enjoy the day in a beautiful setting, as opposed to a hyper–competitive race where people show up, race and leave. The one constant though has been to include the families we help and make the runs available to them as a fundraiser. It’s important to work with our families as partners in helping them, so we pretty much insist they do their own fundraising and we match what they raise on top of the base amount we provide.
During the last few years, the "green" concept has been so prevalent that there was a demand in our community to make events more socially responsible. An event like ours can generate a lot of interest as well as a lot of waste and trash! By opening up our volunteer activities to environmentally–conscious groups and just being aware of other local groups, we’ve been able to add many green facets to the race; our shirts are made from recycled material, and a local resident volunteered to go through the trash and make sure all recyclable materials are properly segregated and handled. This year we’re adding a program to give our runners a discount if they bring a pair of running shoes to donate to the Share our Soles/Give Running group that provide these running shoes to underprivileged children from inner–city Los Angeles to Mexico to the Dominican Republic to Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, and Kenya in Africa.
So give us a look and come out and run the Calabasas Classic 5k 10k Runs, Sunday, November 14, 2010! http://www.calabasasclassic.com/
