-- UNDER STRICT EMBARGO --
Finding your next race shouldn’t feel like a marathon in itself, but all too often it feels unnecessarily cumbersome. Between juggling endless browser tabs, outdated event pages, and clunky search engines, it’s easy to spend more time hunting for races than training for them.
That’s why we built Races by Runna. The Race by Runna Beta platform is a simple, streamlined way to go from “I want to race” to “I’m ready for race day.” From discovery to training to execution, everything you need now lives in one place.
What is Races by Runna?
Races by Runna is a race discovery web app that helps you find your next race with ease. Whether you’re eyeing up a 5K, chasing a half marathon PB, or planning a trail ultra, you can now discover events that match your goals, schedule and preferences.
Smart filters: Search by distance, terrain, elevation, location, time of year, or even niche tags like dog-friendly or PB potential.
Real runner reviews: See insights from people who’ve run the race before.
One-tap sync with Runna: Once you’ve found a race, instantly create a personalised training plan tailored to it.
B-race integration: Add secondary races along the way and we’ll automatically adjust your plan so you stay on track for your A-race.
Why is it in Beta?
Races by Runna is in public beta, which means:
Real Runnas are among the first to try it.
Features and filters may continue to evolve.
The race database will keep expanding and thousands of new events will be added over the coming months.
Being in public beta also creates more opportunity to take feedback onboard and implement it fast. We’d love your feedback as we build this together, it helps us improve the experience for all runners.
So drop a line to Runna Support if you have any questions or suggestions on how we can continue to improve Races by Runna.
