Questions about the running guides

Where can I find running race guides by country?

Choose a country in the country guide section, then open its marathon, half-marathon or available ultra collection. Each collection links to detailed race pages and local areas.

Where are the SuperHalfs and other race-series guides?

The race-series section links to the SuperHalfs guide and the World Marathon Majors, UTMB World Series and UTMB Index race collections. UTMB Index is a race collection, separate from the UTMB World Series.

Are the guides useful for amateur and professional runners?

Yes. Use the guides to compare courses, published dates and entry information. Beginners and club runners can plan practical race-day arrangements; competitive athletes can follow official links for current qualifying standards and elite-entry details where available.

Can I find races by state, county or province?

Country guides group races by their local area. For a wider search, the running location directory lets you explore countries and their available regions.

Where should I confirm a race date, start time or entry?

Open the individual guide and follow its official organiser links. Check the exact edition, distance and start wave before booking. A date or time marked TBC remains unconfirmed; the same race may change its arrangements between years.

What if my race does not have a guide yet?
