- Enter a road race
For players
Enter a road race six weeks out, or one you train all spring for.
Each distance is its own entry at its own price, so you are choosing a race rather than a race day.
Finding one
By distance and by date, not by whichever is nearest.
An event running a 5K, a 10K and a half is three decisions, not one, and they fill at different speeds. Every race lists its distances with its own entry for each and the window you can travel in, and enter the one that fits.
Getting in
Entry, waiver, done.
Registering and paying are one step, and where the race asks for a waiver you sign it there rather than queueing for it on the morning. A capped field can carry a waitlist that confirms on its own when somebody withdraws.
Before you turn up
What the run you enter has already settled.
Every one of these is decided by the organizer before entries open rather than argued about in week three, and whatever they have settled is on the event page under “What is set” — so you read the rules before you enter, not at the field on the first night.

We are not the timing company. Your chip time comes from whoever the race hired, and it appears here when they send the file — so a result that is wrong is a correction the race makes, and one that is late is a file that has not arrived.
Common Questions
- Can I move up or down a distance after entering?
- That is the race director's call, not an automatic swap. Each distance is a separate entry with its own price and cap, so changing usually means they cancel one and you enter the other.
- When do results appear?
- Once the race uploads the timing file, which is usually the same day or the next. They land against your profile, so a year of racing sits in one place rather than across five timing companies' websites.
- Do I need an account to look around?
- No. Browsing is open to anyone — leagues, clubs, tournaments and races are all readable without signing in. You only need an account to register for something, because a registration has to belong to somebody.
- How does paying work?
- Registering and paying are one step, by card. Where the event asks for a waiver you sign it in the same checkout rather than printing it and carrying it to the field. The money goes to the organizer running the event rather than sitting with us until the season ends.
- What if I do not have a team?
- Races, tournaments and open days take you exactly as you are — one entry, one person. A league season is entered by a team, so instead of registering alone you list yourself as available to play and the teams that are a body short come and find you. Nothing is paid until one of them takes you on.
- What happens if it is already full?
- For a race, a tournament or an open day, a waitlist place confirms itself the moment somebody drops out. A league season queues by team instead, and the side that comes off the queue gets a window to settle the entry before the spot moves on. Where the field is capped by permit, entry may run as a draw with a claim window instead.
- Something went wrong with my registration. Who do I ask?
- The organizer first. They run the event, they can see your registration and they are the one who can change or refund it. If you cannot reach them, we will help — but they are faster, because it is their event.
- What do I keep afterwards?
- One profile carrying every registration, result and standing, across every sport you play here. A season of kickball and a spring half marathon sit in the same place rather than across two organizers and a timing company.
