    How we rank 10ks

    Every race on running.services is scored on a deterministic 0–100 scale we call RaceScore. It's a weighted blend of:

    • PR potential — flat, fast, weather-friendly courses score higher.
    • Value for money — entry fee versus what's included.
    • Vibe — crowd, scenery, post-race party, festival features.
    • Beginner-friendliness — generous cutoffs, walker policy, course support.
    • Family-fit — kids races, stroller policy, spectator access.
    • Data completeness — verified course, photos, elevation, reviews.
