Start free →

You are pacing

You are at Norton Expo Center, mile 50, warm and fed, and you know you have 50 miles ahead of you.

The same sheet says when they reach you.

You are deciding

You find out Woodbooger 100 is months of work away, not years, and you start.

Put in a race you have already run. NavRun shows you where this one sits from where you are.

Ultras change. We will tell you when this one does.

Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.

No account, and nothing to cancel.

What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.

I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
