Enduro 2 - race day widget

I'm reading in reviews that the Enduro 2 supports the "Race Day" Widget, which gives a countdown to a particular race on your calendar, uses your specific metrics to estimate your performance on that race, and gives a structured workout plan leading up to the race.

I added my race next month onto Garmin Connect but cannot find how to access this widget. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Indeed, the race prediction is (still) not accurate for ultra's, while the watch is an enduro 2 which is designed for ultrarunners or other endurance athletes....... I added the Ultrabalaton 211K (5 May…

Likely because it’s currently in beta and available when the next public upgrade drops, apparently in a few days.

I am now on software version 9.3.3 and have the Race Calendar and Primary Race widgets on my Glances. I have added a race and primary race in my Connect calendar but nothing appears on my watch after sync. Pressing Race Calendar does nothing and pressing Primary Race says 'Add a running or cycling event to your Garmin Connect calendar'. Not sure why they will not appear?

Have you followed the instructions here - How to train for your next race with the Garmin Race Widget. Note particularly the need to have a course for the race.

Yes I had a course for the event loaded. I followed these steps to load the event to the watch:

1. Open Garmin Connect Desktop version

2. Open the event in calendar

3. Open settings icon and send to device

4. Garmin express is then opened and after sync, event is now shown in watch

I have setup the widget on my watch.

For a goal 100km race with a 9:50 time goal, the widget gives me a predicted time of 6:09. How is this possible??

I don't think the race prediction is very accurate for ultrathons. I have a predicted finishing time for an upcoming 45km technical mountain race of 5:26 but I expect to finish in 11 hours or less. Hey I'm no Killian Jornet

With regard to my previous post, I can now input an upcoming event in Garmin Connect app calendar and it appears in my watch race calendar after sync

Indeed, the race prediction is (still) not accurate for ultra's, while the watch is an enduro 2 which is designed for ultrarunners or other endurance athletes....... I added the Ultrabalaton 211K (5 May 2023) and the prediction is 12:41 while the average ultrarunner is happy to finish it below 31 hours. (last years winner needed 16:34:28 h) So that means that also the training suggestions are not reliable, and I would recommend to switch it off and follow a plan which makes sense. I hope such things will be fixed for ultra events, as that is what the endurance 2 users care about .
