What running races are

Organized running races are one of the most accessible entry points into endurance sports. There’s a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line. Distances run from 1-mile fun runs and 5Ks up through the 10K, half marathon, and marathon.

Most races are timed and chip-scored, with a mass or wave start and aid stations along the course. Big-city races keep the noise going the whole way; smaller races give you long stretches where it’s just you and the miles.
