Reporting Info
You keep a log of your miles any way you like. At the beginning of each month, you'll receive an email reminder to let us know your total miles for the previous month so that it can be added to the reporting system. Here are the details of how that works.
- Log your miles any way you like: paper log, spreadsheet, phone app, etc.
- At the start of each month, you'll receive an email with a link for reporting your miles for the previous month.
- Click the link to go to the online reporting form.
- The link is customized to pre-fill the form with your name and the month.
- Complete the form by filling in your miles and submit it.
- You'll receive an email confirming your submission.
That's it. You're done. You can then watch your total grow!
Notes:
- Miles are logged with the same form every month. You may wish to add a link for it to your browser favorites.
- The form can be completed for any month at any time. There's no requirement to wait for the monthly reminder email.
- If you discover an incorrect entry, simply use the form to enter that month again. Only the most recently submitted value is used.
- Many participants track their miles to the nearest 0.01 mile because that's what modern GPS devices report. The summary report on the web site will display everything to the nearest mile for the sake of brevity but hundredths are stored and counted toward your total.
Special Note
Keep your confirmation email. It contains a link to the reporting form.
We sometimes have participants who tell us they do not get the monthly reminder emails. The most common reasons for this are the use of a corporate email account that filters emails before they reach the user or the emails land in the spam folder of their email system. In case that happens to you, the link in the confirmation email can be used. It won't be pre-filled with your name and the month like in the reminder emails but it will work just as well for reporting your miles. To avoid missing the monthly emails, make sure that your spam filter is set to allow email from the domains runsignup.com and birminghamtrackclub.com.
