Probably been mentioned loads on here, but I can't find anything recent. The event search on this site since the upgrade doesn't work at all. I let it find my location, set a distance from home and click Search, but nothing happens.
Anyone else have the same?

There seems to be a bit of a vogue for taking perfectly functional websites, and getting them rebuilt to look, feel, and operate worse than they did before.
But I hate the Event section on this website now so rarely use it. And I wouldn't use the online race entry system that RW now use, I've heard rumours that your data isn't safe with Eventbrite.
Thanks

I'll have a good look later but it looks good.
I have spotted one error, you have Yeovil marathon on 25th March, that's the half on that day. Yeovil marathon is in June.
> neillock - I've just started looking at your website. I've selected UK marathons but it's not in date order, it seems to be in batches of date order.

Fantastic - we are working on bringing the events you can 'easy/quick book' to the top of the site so these are currently prioritised
I don't like the generic pictures that you've used on some races, either a true picture from the event or just the name of the event would be better. Some pictures are of runners on a road and the race is trail and vice versa, this is misleading as we can't help but judge an event by a picture. For instance, I'm involved in a small way with the organisation of the Women Can marathon and although you've shown a great pic of the Freedom to Run women it implies that the race is in a desert which might put off some entrants.
But I'm probably not typical of a runner looking for races, I believe most want to look for races in their locality. My preference is for marathons and ultras and would search by date.
> I'm sure there are lots of races I am missing out on because there doesn't seem to be one or two locations where everybody submits their races to.
https://sportnomad.net/ is easy to find/submit a race. It think it's more usable than ahotu.com. Also, you could look for event on runsignup, but there's no calendar system
Maybe a 5 mile or a 10k might appeal more.
