7 Platforms to Find Races in Ukraine: Full 2025 Overview

The market for sports event platforms in Ukraine is growing fast. Some services have existed for over a decade and have accumulated thousands of events; others are newer and offer modern UX with online registration. We reviewed seven of the most influential platforms — from aggregators to specialised timing systems — so you can pick the right tool.

1. Startlek — a modern platform for runners and organisers

Startlek is the youngest and most technologically advanced player on the market. The platform was designed mobile-first: from finding an event to completing registration, everything works smoothly on a phone. It includes built-in online registration with payment, an organiser dashboard with analytics, an interactive event map with geolocation, and support for three languages (UA, EN, PL). Coverage spans Ukraine, Poland, and Romania.

• Built-in online registration and payment — no redirects to third-party sites
• Organiser dashboard: manage participants, finances, promo codes, documents
• Interactive event map with filters by type, date, and country
• UA / EN / PL support — convenient for international participants
• Clubs, rankings, chat — rich community features

2. Vsiprobihy (vsiprobihy.org) — the largest directory

The oldest and most comprehensive directory of running events in Ukraine. Thousands of events are listed each year, including small regional races. However, the platform remains essentially a database: registration redirects to the organiser's own website, the mobile version is not adapted, and there are no organiser tools.

• Largest event database in Ukraine — covers even small regional races
• Large audience and high brand recognition among experienced runners
• No built-in registration — redirects to the organiser's site
• Outdated design, poor mobile adaptation
• Ukraine only, Ukrainian language only

3. TimingEvents (timingevents.com) — results and timing

TimingEvents is a Ukrainian platform focused on race timing and publishing results. The site contains detailed protocol data: splits by distance, age groups, categories. Organisers using TimingEvents timing systems automatically publish results here.

• Detailed result protocols: splits, age groups, personal records
• Structured Schema.org data — well indexed by search engines
• Tied to specific timing systems and officials
• Less emphasis on discovery and registration — primarily a results archive

4. RaceApp (raceapp.today) — modern platform with timing

A newer platform focused on race management and integration with timing systems. RaceApp suits organisers who need real-time result publishing. The event database is still smaller, but the platform is growing fast.

• Timing system integration and result publishing
• Modern tech stack — fast and stable platform
• Built-in participant registration
• Smaller event database compared to Vsiprobihy and Startlek

5. RunUkraine (runukraine.org) — major branded events

RunUkraine is a platform and media brand for large-scale running events: Kyiv Marathon, Nova Poshta Kyiv Half Marathon, and similar flagship races. It focuses on a few dozen large events per year.

• Official registration for the Kyiv Marathon, Half Marathon, and similar large events
• High-quality media support: photos, videos, press releases
• Narrow focus — only top mass-participation events, ~10–20 events/year
• Ukrainian and English language support

6. RunStyle (runstyle.net) — trail and ultra

RunStyle is oriented toward trail running and ultramarathons. It features detailed course descriptions and quality editorial content. A good resource for fans of off-road racing.

• Detailed trail course descriptions and elevation profiles
• Quality content on ultramarathon preparation
• Narrow focus — few urban or mass-participation races

7. Fartlek.com.ua — a running community

One of the oldest Ukrainian running resources. Fartlek is primarily a media outlet and community: news, columns, gear reviews, and event announcements. Technical registration features are minimal.

• Active community: editorial content and discussions
• Event announcements via WordPress blog
• Minimal registration and organiser functionality
