Official race stays official

Your TruRace reservation does not replace registration with the race organizer.

Matched near your level

Start with an estimate, then add a verified result or activity for better placement.

A smaller race to chase

Your heat gives you a focused matchup while you run the same official course.

How it works

Run the real race. Race a smaller heat.

TruRace creates matched heats for runners across the field. You keep your official event result while gaining a clearer competitive target.

Independent platform notice

TruRace is an independent running competition platform. TruRace is not a race organizer and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or approved by any listed race, event, organizer, timing company, or venue unless we state that relationship explicitly.

Race names or regional race categories are used only so runners can tell us where they want TruRace heats. Runners still register separately with the underlying race organizer and follow that organizer's rules, fees, waivers, and policies.
