If you love to run and want to help shape the future of mass participation running races, we want to hear from you in a first-of-its-kind research project which has been launched by some of the biggest road races in the UK in collaboration with Cardiff University. 

We think running races should be shaped by runners. That’s why Run 4 Wales, London Marathon Events, the Great Run Company, England Athletics and Welsh Athletics are working together on a new research project to find out what motivates you when entering races, what you think would make them better, and how we can make the running industry more resilient for the future.  

There's something in it for you, too. As a thank you for sharing your views, all you need to do is spend 15 minutes completing our survey [GL2.1] and you can enter a prize draw for a chance to win one of the following prizes: 

  • Entry to the Great North Run (1 available)
  • Entry to the Great South Run (1 available)
  • Entry to the Great Scottish Run (1 available)
  • Entry to the TCS London Marathon 2027 (1 available)
  • COROS heart rate monitor (1 available)
  • £50 cash (5 available)
  • £50 Joma voucher (4 available)
  • Runna annual subscription (2 available)

The survey opened on the 30 September and runs until 21 October. Complete the survey to enter the draw. Share with a friend and help us shape the future of running races in the UK.
