A place to find your next starting line.

Hi, I’m Connor, founder of The Running Directory.

I built this site to make it easier to find your next race or a local group to run with. A first 5K, another marathon, or a weekly run close to home. I wanted one place to start looking.

That’s what The Running Directory is for. Browse races and run clubs across Canada, then follow the official organizer link to register or find out how to join.

The logo has a story, too.

The route in the logo is from the first marathon I ever ran, in Ottawa. I downloaded the FIT file from Garmin and animated it. That little dot follows the route I ran that day.

It felt like the right thing to put here: an actual run, with a personal story behind it. Maybe you’ll find your own first marathon here. Or just some good company for your next run.

If you organize a race or run club, send me the details. And if a listing needs fixing, let me know. I want this to be useful for the people out there running.

Thanks for being here.
