Road Race Organisers webinar schedule

We have planned a series of webinars for Road Race Organisers to support you through this time and to help you plan as we move out of lockdown.

Road running is one of the most popular and accessible sports in the world. During the Covid crisis, virtual runs have been extremely popular and runners are now looking foward to events that offer timed runs before getting back to racing. We will support Road Races throughout the UK with advice and guidance that we will bring through a series of webinars.

About road running:

Some road races can see the world’s best athletes competing at the very front with club runners and recreational runners taking part in the same races and competitions. This is something that would be impossible in almost any other sport.???

There are standard race distances such as 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon but races can be any distance. There are road races at shorter distances such as the mile and longer distances than the marathon, known as to ultra-distance events.

Race licensing for events held under UKA Rules of Competition is done through runbritain. A race licensed by UKA is covered by the appropriate licensing conditions and that performances are eligible for rankings purposes. Results appear on runbritain / Power of 10 rankings. The UKA Rules also give the ages at which athletes become eligible to compete in events of certain distances.
