Pros: running.so has an extremely large event database that covers all major running markets in Europe and North America, with clear filtering logic that lets you quickly locate the event you want. Its open user collaborative maintenance mechanism helps keep event information up to date. All basic features are free, so there is very low barrier to use.
Cons are also quite noticeable: The platform is entirely focused on European and North American events and does not cover domestic Chinese events, so it has limited practical use for regular recreational runners based in China. The interface has issues with duplicate content loading, and the design is rather basic. It does not support a Chinese language interface, which makes it unfriendly for Chinese users.
This website is best suited for Chinese running enthusiasts who plan to participate in marathons, trail runs or other running events overseas. It is far less useful for casual domestic runners in China. Currently, the website is directly accessible in mainland China, no VPN proxy is required.
