Race Registration & Lottery Watch

Why this is recommended

The New York, Chicago, Boston, Berlin and Tokyo lotteries, an Ironman that fills in an hour and a price tier that jumps $40 are all dates on pages athletes forget to check. One caught opening is the whole year's goal.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

Anyone who runs, rides or swims for medals, from a first 5K to a Boston qualifier.

When it runs

Race lotteries and registrations open on weekday mornings and the popular ones fill the same day

The Abbott World Marathon Majors, the 30 largest US marathons and half marathons, Ironman and 70.3 events and the Ironman World Championship lottery, USA Triathlon and USA Cycling events, gran fondos, Spartan, Tough Mudder and Hyrox, the Western States and Hardrock lotteries; registration openings, lottery windows and results, qualifying standards, price tiers, course and date changes, cancellations and refunds, charity and tour entries

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Registration openings, lottery windows and results, qualifying standard changes, price tiers and deadlines, course and date changes, cancellations and refund policies and charity entry programs for the marathons, half marathons, triathlons, cycling events and obstacle races people plan a year around, with the race first.

Track endurance event registration. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: registration openings, lottery windows, results and guaranteed-entry rules for the Abbott World Marathon Majors, the 30 largest US marathons and half marathons, Ironman and 70.3 events, the Ironman World Championship lottery, USA Triathlon and USA Cycling events, gran fondos, Spartan, Tough Mudder and Hyrox, and the Western States and Hardrock lotteries; qualifying standard changes; price tier deadlines; course, date and cutoff changes; cancellations, deferrals and refund policy changes; and charity and tour entry programs. Prefer race organizer pages, governing bodies and established endurance reporting; ignore bib-resale marketplaces and unverified posts. Put the race first in the title with the opening or closing date and time. Use high severity for a lottery closing within 7 days, a registration opening this week for a race that sells out in a day, or a qualifying standard change. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what is open, who qualifies, the price, how to register, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
