We don’t hear about all races so here are a few race meeting websites which might be of interest:

 

• Northern Running Guide

• UK Results

• Time Outdoors

• Run Britain

• Runners World

• Notts Amateur Athletics Association

• Fell Runner

• British Triathlon

• Race Calendar

 

Race-Calendar.com has been set up to help open up access to races around the UK, by offering comprehensive and easily searchable access to race listings without requiring anyone to register with the website - i.e  there are no "hidden" "members only" or "premium" listings on the website.
