How to choose your running race

Choose based on your level

Beginner? Start with a 5K or 10K. Regular runner? A half marathon is a great goal. Experienced? Marathon or trail depending on your preference.

Allow enough preparation time

10K: 6-8 weeks. Half marathon: 10-12 weeks. Marathon: 14-16 weeks. Long trail: 16-20 weeks. Don't register too late.

Check the course profile

A flat course is faster but monotonous. A hilly course is harder but more varied. Choose based on your goal (time vs enjoyment).

Consider the weather

Avoid summer marathons if you don't handle heat well. Spring and autumn races offer the best conditions.

Register early

Major races (Paris, Berlin, New York, UTMB) sell out months in advance. Some use lottery systems. Plan ahead.
