With the support of our European Athletics Member Federations, over 50 road races have now been registered and certified on the European Athletics Running for All platform.
The European Athletics Safety and Quality Standards for road races act as an assurance for road runners throughout Europe. They distinguish between races that respect the standards and those that haven’t sought certification or assessment. They form the foundation of Running for All, a strong recognisable brand for running activities throughout Europe.
We have worked hard during the summer months to circulate and explain the Running for All Quality and Safety Standards to our Member Federations and race organisers and have been encouraged by their response. Now the road running season comes into view once more this autumn, we will continue our discussions with the various groups of the running movement and are confident more and more road races will begin to register and be certified as a European Athletics Quality Road Race.
Races listed as '1 Star' fulfill guaranteed minimum requirements of safety and security for all participants. '3 Star' races offer a good level of safety and include a satisfactory level of services to a larger number of runners, while '5 Star' races offer a high quality experience and a comprehensive range of services.
