Intermediate road races: frequently asked questions
What is a good first running race?
Look for a intermediate-level event with a generous cut-off and a course that suits your training. All 240 races listed here are rated intermediate, so any of them is a defensible starting point: pick on date and travel rather than on difficulty.
How many intermediate-level road races are there?
240 upcoming, across 81 countries. That count changes as organisers open new dates and past events roll off.
What does intermediate level mean here?
We rate races from beginner to elite on course difficulty, cut-off generosity, distance and typical field depth. The filter is an exact match, not a ceiling: this page shows only the races we rate intermediate, so the tier you pick is the tier you get. Races we have not rated yet appear on the main browse pages instead.
