Upcoming races
Always confirm date, start time and registration with the organizer. Some races sell out, and listing a race here does not buy you an entry.

Tracking your race
Pick the race in HypeLap, send your link to friends, and start from your watch. Your own GPS does the tracking, so it also works for races that are not on this list. Paste any sign-up link or create a group race.
Spectating a Houston race?
Ask your runner for their HypeLap link. You can watch their live rank and send cheers from any phone, which beats guessing which corner to stand on.
