UKC

Hello all,

Can anyone recommend any particular sites for finding out about forthcoming races, listed by area? I'm more interested in trail than road, if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.

Simple: http://www.fellrunner.org.uk/

In reply to Tall Clare: I predominantly use the Northern Running Guide (http://northernrunningguide.com/races/08/2014),

If you want more potential to focus on races in a small area try the Fetcheveryone race finder ( http://www.fetcheveryone.com/race.php ). The latter can be a little more inconsistent in which races appear in it, as it is dependent upon whether the users have created an entry, but has quite a few good filter options to find races you're after (very useful so it doesn't get swarmed by Parkruns).

https://www.sientries.co.uk/ is quiet good too.

In reply to Tall Clare:

I'm a big fan of this

Gets you kind of inspired to get out the country too!

In reply to Ste Brom:

Inspiring but some way beyond me just now - I'm about to do my first 10k and I thought it would be good to find another race to aim for in three months or so...

In reply to Tall Clare:

Well, 10km in France in 3 mth?

In reply to Ste Brom:

Going to France would be lovely but I think something in the north of England would be fine for now

In reply to Tall Clare:

Tsk. I'm trying to inspire you.

In reply to Tall Clare:

Also Runners World Events page allows you to search by distance, month and terrain

In reply to Tall Clare:

There are millions and millions (I exaggerate only slightly) of 10K races all over the place. But do bear in mind that the races differ very much in atmosphere/level of competitiveness. The smaller (200-300 entrants) races are often filled with club runners and will be a much faster field than the larger (500+) events.

I have no idea how fast you run but if you are a slow beginner, the smaller races can be demoralising if you're not expecting it. As a slow runner, I'm learning to relish being at the back of the pack in smaller events - gives you plenty of space to run your own race. It's good for the soul.

In reply to Tall Clare:

UK Results is quite good for Northern races (especially more low key ones)
