The article will focus on the RussiaRunning platform, which is known to almost every runner - both professional and amateur.
About RussiaRunning platform
RussiaRunning is a system for the development of amateur running in Russia.
According to the organizers, it comprehensively solves the problem of increasing the number of residents of our country who regularly run. Also on the platform, organizers of various competitions (for example, marathons, running clubs, and so on) can receive consultation services.
Also, RussiaRunning, according to the standard developed jointly with Western pros, carries out standardization and certification of various events in the world of running. The distinctive icon of the Russia Running platform ensures that this sporting event and any other similar event is held exclusively at the highest level in terms of organization.
The rating posted on the platform is one of the ways to make running competitions popular and increase their attractiveness in the eyes of the residents of the Russian Federation. Thus, platform users can participate in competitions and receive points for every event in the world of running, which is held according to Russia Running standards.
RussiaRunning is also working closely and actively to develop a network of partners in the Russian Federation. Thus, Russia Running.Timing became one of the important partners.
It currently has two divisions. The first is engaged in servicing events in the world of running in the center of our country, the second - in the eastern part of the Russian Federation. Also, this company provides modern HI-Tech services in terms of holding various running competitions.

- the final results of the competition.
Currently, the results are presented for the competitions held in the period from 2014 to 2016, and will continue to grow.
This includes the results of marathons, half marathons and other races held in all corners of our country under the sign of Russia Running.
Ratings
In running competitions, which are organized primarily to maintain a healthy lifestyle, regular participation in competitions is also valued along with good results.
Therefore, the organizers have developed a special system for recording all the results achieved, and also provided for the accumulation of points for participating in the races. This is done primarily to ensure that both professional athletes and amateur runners participate in the events with the same interest.
The system developed by the organizers can deal with the calculation of the results of both entire teams and an individual athlete.
It is based on two main rules:
- Sports principle. The time for which each participant covered the distance is converted into points, then the final tables of the races are published, separately for the categories "women" and "men"
- The principle is sports-mass. All participants of the competition can compete with each other regardless of gender, age and length of the distance they have chosen. However, when calculating points, gender, age, distance length, net time will be taken into account. So, a participant of a more mature age after passing a distance will receive more points than a younger runner who has overcome the same distance. Thus, all athletes find themselves on an equal footing, and points are awarded fairly.
