  1. Open Race Day App on your phone, and click the button on the bottom left "Add Devices"
  2. Now you need to add all the devices you would like to track on Race Day. If the device you're trying to connect to has previously been connected to your phone, that is, you can see it from the Garmin Connect App, and you don't see it in the list, press the green "Add New Device" button. Otherwise, select the model of the device you'd like to connect to.
  3. Your phone might prompt you to enter a password. If it does, type in the code that should be displayed on the runner's watch. If you don't see the code, you might have accidentally selected a different runner's watch. In this case, you can either cancel your connection or continue pairing the other runner's watch.
  4. Type in the runner's name. This can be a nickname, full name, or whatever you want it to be. Just be sure it is an unambiguous name that you can quickly identify with the runner. 
    The runner's name should show up in the registered column of the table, indicating that you have successfully connected to that watch.
  5. Repeat the above steps for every runner you would like to keep tabs on during Race Day.
