About these ratings

Races are scored out of 5 on the race itself, swim, bike, run, conditions and travel. 5 is always the better end. How we rate

Sprint course: 0.8 km (0.5 mi) swim, 20 km (12.4 mi) bike, 5 km (3.1 mi) run.

Reports on sprint races are scarcer, so 145 of 265 scores are thin evidence: fewer than 4 sources each (dashed score, marked provisional). Show only races with 4+ sources. 190 of these races set their own distances, and each race page lists the real course.

8 races are paused or discontinued and hidden until you turn off “Active races only” in All filters.
