How Race Calendar Works
To find the perfect race you have at your disposal 4 main filters, designed to be clear, fast and combinable with each other:
- Website Source
- Sport Selection
- Race Location
- Race Detail
You can use a single filter or cross-reference them to compare more races in an advanced way.
Filters
1. Website Source – Event Source
This filter allows you to choose from which sites to retrieve the races.
Available features:
- Select all – select all sources
- Deselect all – deselect all sources
- Checkbox – choose one or more specific sources based on your needs
🔎 Best practice: - If you're looking for events with official rankings, select World Athletics or ITRA for Italian races, include FIDAL.
2. Sport Selection – Sport Selection
Here you can filter the races based on the sport practiced.
Sports are organized in 6 macro-categories:
- All running
- All cycling
- All multisport
- All water sports
- All winter sports
- All other sports
Within each category you can:
- Select the entire category
- or choose one or more specific sports, even across different categories
Status of category checkboxes
- ⬜ Empty → no sport selected
- ✅ Check → all selected sports
- ➖ Hyphen → partial selection
🎯 Useful tips: - Use categories for quick searches and individual sports for ultra-focused searches.
3. Race Location – Race location
The geographic filter allows you to refine your search with great precision.
Available levels:
- Continent
- Subregion
- Country
- Region
- City
The menus are contextual and hierarchical:
- choose a continent → see only related subregions
- choose a subregion → see only the corresponding countries
- and so on up to the city
You can always go back by clicking on a higher level and change your selection.
🔍 For Country, Region and City there is also the direct text search, ideal for quickly finding a specific location.
