About running-races.com
A directory for finding and comparing running races across the US and Canada — built because comparing a handful of races usually means a dozen browser tabs.
What this is
running-races.com lists 9,691 upcoming races across 51 states and provinces, filterable by date, distance, location, size, and price. You can put races side by side in the compare tool to see how they actually differ.
There are no accounts and no logins. Nothing here requires you to sign up for anything to use it.
Where the data comes from
Race listings come from two places:
- Registration platform data — pulled from the RunSignup API twice a day, so dates, prices, and registration status stay reasonably current.
- Hand-checked listings — added and verified individually, mostly for big races that don't use a platform we can read automatically.
Every race page shows when its details were last checked. That timestamp says when we looked, not that the information is still correct — organizers change things without telling anyone, and a feed can be stale at the source. Confirm anything that matters directly with the organizer before you register or travel.
Some registration links earn a commission, and the site shows ads. Neither affects which races are listed or how they're ranked — the Terms have the details.
Who's behind it
running-races.com is built and run by Paul Stavish as an independent project. There's no company or investor behind it — just one person trying to make finding a race less of a chore.
