Support the Running Calendar Resource

Running Calendar has the most comprehensive, up-to-date calendar of running events across New Zealand and Australia. We are developing Running Calendar Ireland and Running Calendar UK with the same aim in mind.

Our "Team" consists of Mr & Mrs Running Calendar - Jane, who finds new events/manages existing listings and advertising for all sites, and Chris, who creates and maintains the platform (while also working full-time elsewhere). We are both runners ourselves.

We add running event listings to our calendar for free and manage 2,000+ current listings - all this takes time!

Our "Premium Membership" was created to add additional features on the website in return for a small annual fee to help support us. This, plus some paid advertising, is our only source of income from maintaining this resource.

If you use and value the Running Calendar resource, please consider supporting us by signing up to a Premium Membership and you'll get...

An ad-free experience

Ads are a necessary source of income for Running Calendar. Without them, we would not be able to offer this resource to you. In most cases, the ads on Running Calendar are self-hosted and paid for directly by event organisers or companies with running related products/services. However, our ad inventory is sometimes supplemented by Google Adsense ads, which contain 3rd party trackers and can slow the site down.

By supporting us with your Premium Membership, you won't see any ads - just the events.

Location based searching

Location based searching allows Premium Members to type in an address or location and search within e.g. 50km of that location. This can be faster and more useful than searching by region or state.

View search results on a map

After running a search, Premium Members can click a "show on map" button to visualise the location of the events they've searched on. This is useful if you're not familiar with the area you're searching (e.g. is it near to where I'll be staying or is actually really far away?).

Saved search alerts

Anyone can save a search they've run on Running Calendar and then re-run that same search at any time again, but Premium Members will also get emailed when new events have been added that match their saved searches.

Premium Membership works across all Running Calendar websites

Once you've upgraded your membership, the Premium features work across all our country based websites: New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and the UK.
