New Site about Cross Country and Road Races

I love cross country and road races just as much as the next guy, but this is a sport which is simply impossible to follow. No one knows when exactly these races take place and most of us hear about them after they have already taken place. Performance Runner is a new website that has decided to put a stop to all of this uncertainty. Following almost two years of data gathering and construction, the website is now available to the public.

Performance Runner provides a listing of cross country and road races around the US which offer prize money to the top finishers. This is the only site which provides this information to the public free of charge, and is the only online race calendar focusing solely on prize money races. Prize money, which can help to fund important training needs, is vital to the development of a competitive distance runner.

Before Performance Runner came to light, a runner would have to scour various online race calendars to find races offering prize money. The athlete would then have to search again to find past results to determine the level of competition at the race. PerformanceRunner.com eliminates these unnecessary steps by providing prize money information, direct links to previous results, and direct links to the official race website in one centralized location.
