Forums >Racing>Finding races outside the US
Anyone know a good way to find a race in another country (specifically, France)? I know runningintheusa and lots of other sites domestically but couldn't find a good site for international races other than marathons. Would love to run a 5K-10K while over there in a couple weeks. If I'm really getting greedy, something the weekend of July 20-21 near Avignon.
Mmmm Bop
I would start by googling 5k/10k races in Avignon and the surrounding areas. You might get lucky and find a race on 20-21 July as those distances are always more frequent than marathons
5k - 17:53 (4/19) 10k - 37:53 (11/18) Half - 1:23:18 (4/19) Full - 2:50:43 (4/19)
I like this site for international runs. You can dig deeper by distance and region:

I usually start with the general race calendars (like ahotu), then look for a link to local calendars. I love racing while traveling overseas!Here you go. This one wasn't listed in ahotu for 2019, but there was a link...:

Perfect! Now I just have to figure out how to register. Thanks!

If it is still any relevant, I'm in the UK and use these two platforms a lot:
Hope that helps!
