# How do I add a preparation race?

For the **main competition objectives**, it is possible to add one or more preparatory competitions where the date is BEFORE the main objective, as it is a preparatory competition 😉

The preparation races will be placed in your program and you will have an easier time arriving fresh a few days before and an easier time recovering well a few days after.

If your **main objective is wellness or weight loss**, it is not possible to add a prep race. If you want to prepare for a race, click on the name of the objective. It is therefore necessary to delete your current objective and create a new [main objective.](https://help.run-motion.com/hc/en-us/articles/10880388312220-How-can-I-add-a-main-objective-)

To add a preparation race, click on the name of the objective in the main screen.

The details of the objectives are displayed, then click on **Manage my objectives**. You can then **add a race** in the Preparation race section. The date of the preparation race must be **BEFORE** the date of the main objective.
