How to import a third-party course in Garmin Connect web
Login to Garmin Connect from a computer
Select the Training Icon from the navigation menu on the left
Select Courses
Select Import (Bottom Right of the Course List Window. Example below.)
Locate and Select Course File
Select Get Started
Select a course type, then select Continue
Select to the right of the course name to edit the name (new courses will typically be named "Untitled" by default)1
Select Save New Course
After uploading the file, use Garmin Express or Garmin Connect App to send the saved course to a compatible device. For additional information see related content below.
1When naming courses, keep in mind that most devices have a limit where they only look at the first 15 characters in the name of a course. If there are multiple courses where the first 15 characters are the same the device will think they are the same course. To work around this limitation, make sure the names vary within the first 15 characters.

Prizes will be given to the following:
First Male/Female finishers for each race.
The Male/Female finishers that had the best speed up in their finishing time in comparison to any of their previous runs for that particular route.
