Title says it all - how many races have you done this (calendar) year. Anything that has results and/or times published can be classified as a race. This includes, parkruns, XC, fell, road, trail, O, adventure races, MMs, etc... If there are two or more separate races (e.g. a MM has 2 days that have separate results published), then that's 2 races - same for sprint O events with a prologue and final. Even track races if you must - for example a heptathlon has 4 different races.

For me, I'm up to 79 after Snowdonia Marathon on Sat and Stockport Urban Orienteering race on Sunday.

Quality not quantity ;)

A paltry 22. Most of those are parkruns which are not really races, right? One mara to go (Nice, Nov) plus however may more parkruns (which are not really races, right?) I manage to squeeze in this year.

33 so far - 12 parkruns, and 21 others. 7 more ( non parkruns ) planned for remainder of the year.

13 BUT 7 were parkruns and 4 were at the local Fetch Mile (1 miles, 400m, 200m, 100m), so only 2 "proper" races. At least one more "proper" race and a few parkruns before the end of the year, along with a less local Fetch mile.

According to my club, 31, plus two big DNFs at Lakeland 100 and Vegan Welsh 3000s. Next year will be substantially less, single figures.

23 logged here, plus some that aren't (less a parkrun which is on here but isn't a race (discuss)).

So between 27 and 30. I'd say maybe 5 of those have "gone well".

About This Thread

Maintained by rf_fozzy
Title says it all - how many races have you done this (calendar) year.

Races are anything that produces published results (either paper or online or anything similar) with times and/or positions.

This therefore includes (but not limited to): Road Races, Fell Races, Cycle Races, Triathlons, Aquathlons, Duathlons, Parkruns (whether you actually "raced" them or not), Orienteering races, Track races (i.e. any T&F), Cross Country, Trail Races, Sportives, Adventure races, Mountain Marathons, Crits, time trials etc.....

Races with multiple stages with an overall result (a la tour de France) are separate races if there are results published for each day. So, 2 day Mountain Marathons are 2 races.

Adventure races where it is continuous = 1 race.

Parkruns are Races!! End of.
