Uploading a CSV

TIP: Have a play with the CSV before your big upload day. Upload 5 test balloons to see how it works, they’re easy to delete so you can start from a blank race each time.

You can download a blank template from your admin area within “administer the balloons”.

You’ll still need the exact balloon colours or duck names. We are constantly adding new designs so if you cant find the colour name add your required balloon manually then download your CSV to see the exact name, delete the balloon you created.

A list of exact names can be found here (correct as of 08/07/25): https://balloonrace.uk/2025/07/08/exact-balloon-names-for-csv.html

It’s still not possible to upload emojis by CSV. If your upload has worked correctly you should be able to see balloons on the top leaderboard on your homepage. All the balloons will be on 0km, if you click on the top 10 leaderboard it will take you to the full leaderboard.
