A race directory is only worth using if you can trust it, and most of what makes fitness racing hard to research is that the available information is a mix of organiser marketing, out-of-date listings and forum hearsay. Here is what we do instead.
The last verified date
Every race page carries one. It is the date a person last checked that page’s details against the organiser’s own published information. If it is old, treat the page as old — and tell us, because that is useful.
Empty fields are deliberate
If a race page has no date on it, that is because the organiser has not announced one. We will not infer next year’s date from last year’s, and we will not put a season in where a date should be unless the organiser has said so.
The same applies to finishing times. We list those only where results have been published.
What we deliberately leave out
- Participation figures. These come from marketing and cannot be checked.
- Growth and popularity claims. Same problem.
- Rankings of races against each other.
- Prize money, unless the organiser has published it.
Leaving these out makes our pages shorter. It also makes them true, which we think is the better trade.
Organisers: get in touch
If something on a race page is wrong, tell us and we will fix it. A listing costs nothing, cannot be bought, and being an advertiser does not move you up a page.
Advertising and listings
A listing is free, cannot be bought, and being an advertiser does not move a race up a page. Anything with a commercial arrangement behind it is labelled.
This platform is operated by Deldico B.V., which is also commercially involved with TYRUN. TYRUN is listed on the same terms as every other race, and every page covering it carries a notice. See the editorial policy for the full position.
