How it works

Search by name, place or organiser, or browse the race directory as a list, on a map or in a calendar. Filter by distance, state and more, or sort by women's participation to see which events attract the most women finishers.

Participation figures come from published race results. We use finishers, and show women's share for each race separately, so a 100 km field is never hidden inside a 10 km one. Where several years of results exist, you can see how participation has changed over time.

Each race page covers what we know about distance, terrain and technicality, elevation, cut-offs, entry fees, dates and registration status. Entry fees are specific to each year and are never carried over from a previous edition.

Where results are published, we summarise women's finishing times from previous years. These describe what happened last time, not a prediction of your race.

We record what organisers publish about facilities, safety and entry policies, such as toilets, period products, pregnancy and postpartum policies and overnight safety. Every item shows one of these statuses:

• Available: The organiser confirms it is provided.
• Conditional: Provided in some circumstances, or confirmed without full detail. For example, toilets are confirmed but female facilities aren't specified.
• Not available: The organiser confirms it is not provided.
• Not stated: We checked the organiser's information and it wasn't mentioned. This does not mean No.
• Not applicable: The provision doesn't apply to this race, for example overnight safety at a daytime-only event. It is left out of the Women's support calculation.
• Unknown: We haven't checked this yet.

Event and race pages show a short Women's support summary based on 14 women-specific areas, such as female toilets, period products, pregnancy and postpartum policies, safe travel, overnight safety and equal prizes. Tap it to see how many provisions are confirmed and how many areas we've checked.

It is based on organiser information we have verified, not on opinions or a review score. If we haven't been able to establish enough areas yet, it shows Limited information rather than guessing. Areas marked Not applicable are left out of the calculation.

Some events show a Verified by organiser badge. It means the race organiser has reviewed and confirmed the information Her Race Report holds about their event. It is a check of information, not an endorsement or certification by Her Race Report.

Signed-in runners can share photos to help other women see what an event is really like. Every photo is checked before it appears, needs the contributor's permission to be shown on the site, and is credited to them where they choose.

Sign in to save races you're interested in. They appear under My races, and follow the race into future years when it's clearly the same race.

Our information comes from organisers' published information and public race results, and we show where it came from. We never present an estimate as official.

Coverage varies by event and we keep researching and adding races. If something looks wrong, use Report an issue on any event or race page, or suggest an event we should add. Reports are reviewed by us and never change information automatically.
