Entry fees are organiser-published figures where held. Value scores and true-cost models are separate methodology-backed signals, not inferred from entry price alone.
How to read value and cost signals
| Signal | What it means | Where to inspect it |
|---|---|---|
| Entry fee | Organiser-published race entry fee held as a sourced fact. | Data coverage |
| True cost | Modelled total cost using entry, travel and accommodation assumptions. | Cost calculator |
| Value score | Methodology-backed score that appears only when the required inputs pass quality gates. | Methodology |
| Cost ranking | Clean best-value, entry-fee or true-cost ranking URL published only when enough races qualify for that distance. | Rankings |

Best-value race questions
How does raceindex.org define best-value running events?
Best-value pages use the available source-backed cost signals for each race. Entry fees come from organiser-published data; true-cost and value scores appear only when the required model inputs pass the published methodology.
Are cheapest running events the same as best-value running events?
No. The cheapest entry-fee list shows the lowest organiser-published entry prices. Best-value rankings can also use value score and true-cost signals when those inputs are available.
Why are some distances missing from the best-value rankings?
A distance-specific best-value ranking is published only when enough races have the required source-backed value metric to clear the thin-page guardrail.
Can I estimate total cost for a race?
Yes. The true-cost calculator combines sourced entry fees with modelled travel and accommodation assumptions, and links back to source-backed race pages.
