Answer index
Start here for evidence-backed race questions about route maps, elevation profiles, flat and hilly rankings, value, dates, places, comparisons and score status. Each answer links to a public page with visible source-backed data or a clear missing-evidence gate.
Search and AI answer paths
Browse only race pages with stored route geometry, route-map provenance and route-derived metrics where available.
1,474 race pages with stored GPS route geometry.
Find race pages with ascent, descent, GAP, grade and route-profile evidence derived from stored routes.
806 race pages with publishable elevation-profile evidence.
Use route-ranking pages for flat grade share, GAP factor, net downhill, ascent, descent, climbing density and steepness where stored route data supports those figures.
94 route-map ranking pages currently qualify.
Use the flat-fast hub for plausible low-GAP, high-flat-grade and low-ascent candidates; it does not treat route data as guaranteed PB proof.
806 race pages currently have publishable elevation-profile evidence for route-first screening.
Use the hilly hub for ascent, climbing per km, steepest grade, descent and low-ascent comparisons by distance.
806 race pages currently have publishable elevation profiles for climb and descent screening.
Compare races by typical race-day conditions, then open race pages for route, cost, logistics and entry context.
3,034 race pages currently have typical temperature, wind or rain condition scores, with 13 guarded conditions ranking pages.
Compare sourced entry fees, modelled true-cost signals and qualifying value-led ranking pages.
216 race pages currently have entry-fee or true-cost signals.
Use first-race guide pages built from source-backed cut-offs, gentler course evidence, route-map availability and entry signals.
530 first-race candidates across 4 guarded guide pages.
Use walker-friendly candidate pages built from source-backed generous cut-offs, route evidence and organiser-policy caveats.
165 walker-friendly candidates across 2 guarded guide pages.
Use the Boston qualifier marathon guide to compare qualifying status, route evidence, PB-potential signals and logistics context.
208 source-backed Boston-equivalent marathon pages currently qualify.
Compare route availability, elevation, cost, race-day signals and published score state where available.
180 curated comparison pages are exposed when both races have enough evidence.
Use monthly, seasonal, annual and date-distance guides generated only from source-backed race dates.
3,043 race pages currently have source-backed dates.
Start from city, region and location hubs that expose race counts, mapped-route counts and distance coverage.
32 city guides and 12 UK regional guides currently qualify.
Use the local running-event hub for exact city, region and location guide paths, with nearby-radius claims withheld until coordinate coverage is published.
32 city guides, 12 UK regional guides and 1,474 mapped route race pages are available for local discovery.
Browse terrain, scenery, atmosphere and elevation-character guides backed by verified race-character facts and mapped-route counts.
273 race-character guide pages currently qualify.
Inspect route-map coverage, score readiness, ranking coverage and the data quality checks behind published race pages.
3,232 of 3,233 active race pages are mapped or have a recorded route attempt; Composite scores are currently gated, with partial route, cost and score evidence shown instead.
Use the public evidence hub, methodology, data coverage and llms.txt surfaces to audit source-backed claims.
54,776 verified facts across 3,233 race entities.
Raceindex.org is designed for evidence-backed race choice questions: which races have route maps, which courses are flatter or hillier, which events are cheaper, where races are held, when they happen and what evidence is missing before a score or ranking can publish.
The answer index routes users to pages with visible route evidence, source provenance, methodology, coverage counts and guarded ranking rows. Calendar-style date, place and near-me pages exist, but route and evidence quality decide which claims are published.
No. Answers appear only where the required source-backed data exists. Unsupported route traces, composite scores and cost figures are withheld or labelled as missing rather than inferred.
AI crawlers should start with this answer index, the evidence hub, data coverage, methodology and llms.txt. Those pages link to the underlying route maps, rankings, comparisons, date guides, place guides and race pages.
