Making changes to the registration data will not automatically update the racer information.  Creating a race from a registration form creates a copy of the registration data *at that point in time*, so that your race data remains stable even if you make changes to your registration data. The system has been designed this way so that you can modify and re-use registration data without affecting your race file. This is useful if for example you create a single registration form for a race series and leave it open all season while running a race every weekend.

To update your racer information to match the registration data, navigate to the **Racers** tab on your race and click on the “Import from Registration” button:

Here you will have two options under the **Import from Registration Form** section:

-   **Import New Registrants Only** imports only the people who don’t exist in your race yet. This is generally the **recommended method** as it does not override changes you may have already made to racers registration data in Zone4 Timing.
-   **Re-import all Registrants** updates the data for all registrants to match your registration data. This is to say that any racer data you may have already edited in Zone4 Timing **will be changed back to match the data in your registration form**. For that reason this is **not recommended** for most cases.

**Note that:** Changes you make in the race timing interface will never overwrite the original registration data.
