Novice road races: frequently asked questions

What is a good first running race?

Look for a novice-level event with a generous cut-off and a course that suits your training. All 5 races listed here are rated novice, so any of them is a defensible starting point: pick on date and travel rather than on difficulty.

How many novice-level road races are there?

5 upcoming, across 5 countries. That count changes as organisers open new dates and past events roll off.

What does novice 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 novice, so the tier you pick is the tier you get. Races we have not rated yet appear on the main browse pages instead.
