awesome new running app

Postby QuickChick » Mon Apr 07, 2014 9:58 am

Hey everyone, one of my best friends works for Canadian Running Magazine and she was telling me about this app they just had developed. I downloaded it and it's FANTASTIC! It's called race guide, and it's free. You can search over 1500 Canadian races, read reviews, rate races and add races to your calendar. It uses your location if you let it as well, and finds all the races near you. Right now it's available for iOs, but an android version is being developed. Anyway, check it out!

I checked it out, it is essentially a race calendar in app form. It wasn't great for Vancouver - still had some races that have been discontinued and didn't include some new races that have started up.

yeah I was trying to figure out how to add races but I don't see it on there. :/ it doesn't have a lot listed. I'm assuming that as they develop it they will include more... and/or an add feature?

Hi there! Thanks for your interest in the RaceGuide app. I work for Canadian Running magazine and am responsible for the race guide publication and mobile app. We currently have over 1,500 events listed and are adding more every day. To have an event added, simply contact us at raceguide@runningmagazine.ca with the event details (name, date, location, distance(s), website, contact, etc) and I'll add it to our database. Currently, the app is only available for iOS but the Android version is being developed and should be released shortly. Thanks again and happy running!
