# Registering For a Running Event

You can register for an event in-game, in the Zwift Companion app, or on zwift.com.

## Things to Know

*   You can register in-game if the event or group ride is scheduled to start within the next hour.
    
*   To RSVP further in advance, use the Zwift Companion app or [zwift.com/events](https://www.zwift.com/events).
    
*   If you're already running in-game, you can't register through the Zwift Companion app or zwift.com. Save and exit or discard your ride before registering.
    
*   Some events have only one group or are designated as an open E group, which is intended for runners of any level.
    
*   When registering for an event, keep in mind that many have different subgroups based on speed:
