Some of you might already started the year participating in some of the races that took place in this past 2 weeks, but many (including myself) might still be planning the racing season. So I thought I would put together a list of trail running and ultra running calendars that I&#8217;ve got bookmarked in hope of helping you, runners avid for competition. </p>
<p>Many of the calendars list exactly the same races so it&#8217;s more about which one has the best and easiest search interface for the type of races you are looking for. I tried to cover those that I think are most complete and searchable but there surely are other calendars worth noting here, so just let me know in the comments and I&#8217;ll add them to the list.<br/>
<span id="more-9626" ></span><br/>
<a href="http://www.ultrarunning.com/calendar.html" >Ultrarunning.com</a>: Ultrarunning.com folks have just created a new great calendar for this 2010. The list of ultra races is long and they have build a great search interface: you can search by date, distance/time, state, terrain and even surface. Each race has a short description to get the basic stuff before clicking on the race website.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.run100s.com" >run100s.com</a>: Stan Jensen maintains one of the oldest and best sources for ultrarunning races information, and the calendar is also a comprehensive one. You&#8217;ll find quick links for U.S. 100milers, for West Coast races and many other country-wide events. No search interface but just text listing with links to race websites.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.realendurance.com/" >realendurance.com</a>: not just running, but endurance sports in general, this site has a visual map of races (mainly in the U.S. but also a few more from around the world). You can quickly check races classified by sport (running, triathlon, cycling), date and distance.</p>
<p><a href="http://ultramarathoncalendar.com/ultramarathon-calendar/" >UltramarathonCalendar.com</a>: A sort of &#8220;spin off&#8221; of ultrarunningnews.com, this site is exclusively dedicated to compiling ultra race info. You can click to sort according to various criteria but there&#8217;s no link to the race site, which will force you to do an extra search on google.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.trailrunner.com/calendar/2010_calendar_by_state.htm" >trailrunner.com</a>: The American Trail Running Association has a great US race listing and a few international events too. Searchable by state or month, it has just the basic event info and a link to the website for further details. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.trailrunnermag.com/racecalendar.php" >trailrunnermag.com</a>: Not much to say here. Simply the most comprehensive trail running calendar for US events. Searchable by state or date, it doesn&#8217;t have the best interface or a short description of each item, but you&#8217;ll surely find the race matching your needs. Their listing has also a printed edition that went out last month.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ultramarathonrunning.com/races/index.html" >Ultramarathonrunning.com</a>: This is a website dedicated to ultra racing which has a good number of events listed. Races are classified by continent and there are special categories for U.S., Canada, U.K. and Ireland. Short, extended info for each race listed.</p>
<p><a href="http://multidays.com/the-multiday-and-ultra-marathon-calendars/" >multidays.com</a>: Good source for international ultra and stage races. Events are split by distance and type (stage races, 100mile, 100K, 24hours), so if you are looking for a certain kind of race no matter the country where it&#8217;s held, this may be a good site for you. Basic info on each race listed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.clubfatass.com/CalendarofCanadianUltras" >Clubfatass.com</a>: The Club Fat Ass runners had put together a list of ultramarathons for this 2010 happening in Canada. Short description, website link and contact info.</p>
<p><a href="/trs/calendar-world-map/index.html" >trailrunningsoul.com</a>: And, of course, there&#8217;s a calendar right here on TRS. It&#8217;s not the most complete calendar (by far) but on top of North American events I also try to include events from around the world. The nice feature of this calendar is a visual interface which pinpoints each event on a google map and makes it quick and easy to find competitions spots at a glance. </p>
