Simple string problem

[XboxOne2019]

This is a homework assignment, but I have almost finished it completely. My problem is that we have to change his code to where the user inputs data. I did that and everything works except when I have to enter string data with spaces in it. It skips and writes the wrong input to the column. I know this may seem so simple, but this is my first year and I have tried changing it to char array, doing getline...its not working correctly. I need this solution for the date and the name of the race.

  #include <iostream>  //to use cout and cin and endl// allows using cout without std::cout

#include <string> // to use string data type

#include <cstring> //to use strlen, strcmp, strcpy

#include <cmath>   //for pow function,sqrt,abs

#include <iomanip>  // for set precision, setw,

#include <fstream> //for file input

#include <cassert> // to use assert  to disable place before #define NDEBUG

#include <cstdlib>//for random numbers, exit function

#include <ctime>//time function used for rand seed

#include <cctype>  // for toupper, tolower

#include <algorithm>

#include <locale.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {

    int hours;

    int minutes;

    int seconds;

    double miles;
    
    char raceName1[100];
    
    string city;
    
    string state;
    
    string date;
    
    cout<<fixed<<setprecision(0);
    
    cout<<"Please enter the amount of miles."<<endl;
    
    cin>>miles;
    
    cout<<"Please enter the number of hours."<<endl;

    cout<<"Please enter the abbreviated state."<<endl;
    
    cin>>state;
    
    cout<<"Please enter the name of the race."<<endl;
    
    cin.getline(raceName1,sizeof(raceName1));  //tried this for whitespaces
    
    cout<<endl;
    
    cout<<"Please enter the date of the race."<<endl;
    
    cin>>date;  //I know this is incorrect, but its just a placeholder

    int totalseconds = hours*60*60+minutes*60+seconds;  //calculating data

    double secondspermile=totalseconds/miles;

    double paceminutes=secondspermile/60;

    double paceseconds=(int)secondspermile%60;
    
    cout<<endl;

    cout<<"Peace minutes: "<<(int)paceminutes<<"|"<<"Pace seconds: "<<paceseconds<<endl;

    double mph = miles/((hours+((double)minutes/60))+(double)seconds/3600);

    cout<<"Miles per hour: "<<mph<<" MPH"<<endl;
   
    
    cout<<"Name of Race: "<<raceName1<<endl;
    
    cout<<"Location: "<<city<<","<<state<<endl;
    
    cout<<"Date: "<<date<<endl;
 

    return 0;

}

Output:
Please enter the amount of miles.
13.1
Please enter the number of hours.
2
Please enter the number of minutes.
36
Please enter the number of seconds.
6
Please enter the city.

Please enter the abbreviated state.
MS
Please enter the name of the race. //problem here, it's skipping name.

Please enter the date of the race.

cin is going to stop after the space.
read about getline and how to use here

Yes, as you can see in my code I changed cin to cin.getline

[XboxOne2019]

I even tried changing the value to string data and then changed the call to
getline(cin,raceName1);

and it still skips.

[SamuelAdams]

you didn't do it for city name and I don't see where you used std::cin.ignore()

Read the section under

std::getline() can run into problems when used before std::cin >> var.

I read through that article and changed some things. I almost have it. I can get everything working except raceName1 is not showing up, but date will. I tried rearranging it multiple times, deleting things..its the only thing not working. Thanks for your help. I'm so close!

    cout<<"Please enter the name of the race."<<endl;
    
    getline(cin,raceName1);
    cin.ignore(25,'\n');
    
    cout<<"Please enter the date of the race."<<endl;
    
    getline(cin,date);
    cin.ignore(25,'\n');

    int totalseconds = hours*60*60+minutes*60+seconds;

    double secondspermile=totalseconds/miles;

    double paceminutes=secondspermile/60;

    double paceseconds=(int)secondspermile%60;
    

    cout<<"Peace minutes: "<<(int)paceminutes<<"|"<<"Pace seconds: "<<paceseconds<<endl;

    double mph = miles/((hours+((double)minutes/60))+(double)seconds/3600);
    

    cout<<"Miles per hour: "<<mph<<" MPH"<<endl; 
    
    cout<<"Location: "<<city<<","<<state<<endl;
    
    cout<<"Race name: "<<raceName1<<endl;
   
    cout<<"Date: "<<date<<endl;


    return 0;

}

I figured it out, I didn't realize I had to put the cin.ignore before the input because I was entering string after an integer. Thank you for your help.

 
    cout<<"Please enter the name of the race."<<endl;
    cin.ignore(50,'\n');
    getline(cin,raceName1);
