About Marathon Scout
We're a small group of friends, running buddies, and software engineers. We built Marathon Scout to make race dates, registration, live tracking, and official results easier to find.
Marathon Scout is an independent project focused on marathons, with selected half marathons and ultras. We care about the details that help runners and their supporters plan a race weekend and follow race day.
What we track
We focus on the details runners actually need: race dates, registration links, official results, live tracking, Boston qualifier status, course notes, weather context, and historical result links.
How we source race information
We prioritize official race websites, registration pages, timing providers, results pages, and race-linked live tracking. If a link or date cannot be checked against a strong source, we would rather leave it out than publish something shaky.
How date status works
A confirmed date means we found a strong source for that edition. A projected date is a planning signal, not a guarantee. TBD means the next edition is not posted clearly enough yet. Runners should still confirm final details with the race before registering or traveling.
What we mean by official results
We link to results from the organizer, its timing provider, or a destination the race identifies. We check the race, edition, and distance or format so a weekend's different competitions stay distinct.
Corrections and race updates
Race organizers, timing partners, runners, and readers can send updates for dates, registration, live tracking, results, course notes, and race logistics. We review submissions for source quality before publishing changes.
Editorial independence
We may receive products, race entries, or payment for agreed work. We disclose those relationships with the coverage. Support does not buy a positive review or change our race facts.
