Finish lines start with Find a Race

Somewhere out there is a start line with your name on it. Maybe it’s your first race, maybe it’s a distance you haven’t tried before, maybe it’s the event you keep talking yourself out of. Whatever it is, deciding to do it is the hardest part. Finding it shouldn’t be.

That’s why we created Find a Race.

How it began

What started back in 2012 as a side project for 3 friends that loved taking on challenges has become the leading place to discover and enter races of all kinds. Find a Race continues to be driven by its original beliefs; that doing stuff makes people happy and there’s nothing more powerful than having a goal in the diary.

Our mission

To help more people find races they’ll love and get them to the finish line.

Racing is for everyone. First-timers, back-of-the-packers, seasoned marathoners, weekend cyclists, triathlon junkies. It doesn’t matter how fast you are, what you look like in lycra, or whether you finished last time. If there’s a race that sounds like your kind of thing, we want to help you find it.

15 million race days and counting

Since we launched as a passion project in 2012, millions of people have used Find a Race to discover their next event. We list races from local weekend 5ks all the way up to full Ironmans and every distance and endurance discipline between. Whatever you’re training for, chances are we’ve got it.

The Go Far Fund

Movement changes lives. We know it, and the science backs it up, but not everyone has the same opportunity to get active. Some communities face bigger barriers than others.

That’s why we teamed up with Run The World in 2025 to launch the Go Far Fund. Every year, we award grants of up to £4,000 to grassroots projects breaking down those barriers and getting underserved communities moving. Every booking on Find a Race helps make it possible.
