Find a Race on the Day You're Free: Search Bib Scouts by Date
How do you find a running race on a specific date?
Open Races by Date on Bib Scouts and choose a From date and a To date. The page lists every race on those days, nationwide or in one state, and you can narrow it to one distance. Each result shows the race date, city, distances, today's registration fee, and the next price increase.
Most race searches start with a place. Plenty of runners start with a date instead: the one free Saturday next month, the long weekend you’ll be traveling, the week your training plan calls for a tune-up 10K. Bib Scouts now answers that question directly.
Search by date
Open Races by Date and choose a From date and a To date. Pick the same day twice for a single day, or stretch the range across a weekend or a month. The page opens on the coming weekend, and four quick buttons cover the usual asks:
- This weekend
- Next weekend
- This month
- Next month
Results cover every state by default. Use State to keep them to one state, and Distance to see only 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, marathons, or another distance.
Combine a date with a place
The Races Near Me finder takes dates too. Enter your ZIP code, choose how far you’ll drive, then add a date range to see only the races on the days you can run. Leave the dates empty to see everything coming up near you.
Each state calendar also links to a date search for that state.
What each result shows
Every card shows the race date, the city and state, the distances offered, today’s registration fee, and the next price increase when one is scheduled. Registering before that increase is how you get the lowest fee.
A race is listed on the day it starts. Events that run two to four days are also listed while they are under way, and the card shows the full run of dates.
Share a search
A date search lives in the page address. Copy it from your browser and send it to your running group, and they’ll see the same dates, state, and distance you picked.
Quick answers
Can I search for races on a single day?
Yes. Choose the day as the From date and the To date is set to match. Change the To date if you want to cover more days.
Can I search by date and by location at the same time?
Yes, two ways. Races by Date has a State filter. Races Near Me takes a ZIP code and a distance of 10 to 100 miles, and you can add a date range to it.
How are races that last more than one day listed?
A race is listed on the day it starts. Events that run two to four days are also listed while they are under way, and the card shows the full run of dates.
Does it cost anything to search?
No. Searching Bib Scouts is free and you do not need an account.
