Race sheets, explained

The course of a race as its organiser publishes it — distance, climbs, checkpoints, cut-off times, GPX track — already entered. You lay your feeding plan on top.

🏁 Starting from a sheet

In Le Cairn

At the top of “My races”: Start from a race sheet. The search takes the name, the place or the country — “Majorque” (Mallorca) is enough.

Pick the sheet, and your race is born with the course already in place: distance, climbs, checkpoints, cut-off times, and the GPX track. What is left is what matters — your runners, your schedule, your feeding plan.

✏️ Everything stays editable

In Le Cairn

A sheet is a snapshot of one edition. Your race starts from it, then it is yours: an aid station moved this year, a cut-off brought forward — you correct it in your race, and the sheet knows nothing of it.

📜 Where it comes from

On every sheet

Each sheet carries a note: confirmed by the organiser, reviewed by Cailloux, or submitted — not yet reviewed. A wrong cut-off misleads everyone who relies on it: the note tells you how far you can rely on it.

📨 And for organisers

Organiser

An organiser can submit the sheet of their race themselves, in French, English or Dutch: a page is dedicated to them, and the confirmation link goes to their address. The sheet is reviewed before it enters the library — the cut-off times are checked against the official website —, then published marked “confirmed by the organiser”.

They then receive a link to keep: a new edition, an aid station moved, and they correct their sheet themselves. Every correction is reviewed before it is published.

And when a course is already in Cailloux, I sometimes write to its organiser to suggest they check and certify it — nothing to install, no account to create.

My race has no sheet? You build it by hand, as before: Le Cairn has not changed for that. And you can tell its organiser they can submit one.
If the organiser corrects the sheet, does my race change? No. Your race started from a copy: it only moves if you touch it.
