October Highs

In terms of Users, Sessions and Bookings, 2024 has been the busiest year ever on findarace.com. With October typically being the busiest month of the year, now's the time to make sure your events are ready.

Traffic this year is 25% up on last year and higher even than the previous high water mark of 2019. On average we've had more than 350,000 monthly visits and 1.5m monthly page views.

A line graph titled "Visitors by month" shows data for three years: 2019 (gray line), 2022 (black line), and 2023 (green line). The x-axis represents months from January to December. The graph highlights a shaded area in October.

Taking out the pandemic-hit years of 2020 and 2021, for the other years, October has been the busiest month of the year. For one of these years, 2022, the London Marathon Ballot result was released in October which undoubtedly contributed to the spike, but in 2019 traffic in October was second only to April, and last year it was the busiest month of the year.

With 2024 traffic up 7% on 2019, we expect this October to be strong.

We'd love to help you ensure your events are in the best position to make the most of this upcoming spike. Submit events or updates via the Dashboard, or if you have any queries, drop us a line [email protected]
