  • You must be logged in with the correct email address to access your roster. The email address you receive KROC communications on is the one that has been used to grant you coach access.

  • If you do not have a Runsignup account with that email, you will receive an invitation from Runsignup to create one and view your roster. If you need this re-sent to you, please reach out.

  • You can have more than one coach able to view your roster at a time. If you need additional coaches able to view your roster please reach out to a KROC team member to add them.
