01 · The data
Numbers, not adjectives
Every race lists elevation gain in meters, the registration type and cost in USD, qualifying times to the second, and the typical race-day temperature. If we're not sure of a field, we say so.
02 · The shortlist
Fewer, better options
We focus on races worth building a trip around, then show the tradeoffs plainly. If a date, price, or route is not confirmed, we mark it instead of filling the gap with confidence.
03 · The trip
Hotels, weather, the lot
Each race page covers where to stay near the start, the race-week forecast, getting there, and what a non-racing partner does while you're out on course.
One race worth the flight, every Sunday
No digest, no roundups. One race we'd actually book — the elevation, the entry catch, and why it's worth the trip.
