How this was counted
Every price is a single entry option on a real race's registration page — not an event-level average, which is what makes a marathon look like it costs $50 because the same weekend sells a $30 kids' run. Team relays, volunteer rows, merchandise and parking are excluded; the platform's mandatory charges are included, because that is what you actually pay.
Races without a confirmed next date are left out entirely: their listed prices come from last year's page and would quietly drag the numbers down. Prices last read October 16, 2026.
