Marathon and Race Training Events Platform: Finding Races and Training Resources

Running is huge. Marathons, half marathons, and races happen every weekend. Runners want to find events, compare courses, and access training resources. Information is scattered across race websites and running publications. There is an opportunity to build a comprehensive marathon and race training events platform.

Runners face challenges:

• No comprehensive calendar of races by distance and location

• Course details, elevation, and difficulty hard to compare

Running is popular but discovery and planning could be better.
