Introducing Race Kiroku

Here's the full story. Every ultrarunner I know has a "system." A Google Calendar with race weekends blocked off but zero context. A Notes app with a packing list from 2023. A mental list of dream races they'll remember exists two weeks after registration closes. I was fully this person. Missed registrations, forgot required gear, stacked races too close together. So I built something better. <h2>Plan your season</h2> <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-pipeline.png" alt="Race pipeline showing races organized by status — Considering, Registered, Completed" /> Every race starts as a "hmm, maybe." Race Kiroku tracks the whole journey — from vague interest to considering to registered to completed. Tag races by priority: goal race, training race, fun run, destination event. <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-calendar.png" alt="Race calendar showing Gorge Waterfalls on April 12 with registration alerts and recovery shading" /> Recovery windows shaded after races so you can see if you're being ambitious or reckless. Registration deadlines surfaced before they sneak past you. <h2>Track everything</h2> <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-import.png" alt="UltraSignup import showing 38 results for Naoko Reeves with status filters" /> UltraSignup import pulled in 38 of my past results in one click. No copy-pasting from old emails. Got a spreadsheet? CSV import auto-maps your columns — 50+ aliases recognized, duplicates skipped. <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-auto-capture.png" alt="Auto-capture showing WSER URL auto-populating race details — 100 miles, 18,000 feet elevation" /> Adding a new race? Paste the URL. Race Kiroku reads the page and auto-fills distance, elevation, location, date. Zero manual entry. <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-completed-races.png" alt="Completed races list showing 37 finished races with distances, finish times, and bib numbers" /> 37 completed races from 50-milers to 50Ks — finish times, distances, bib numbers. Your entire race history in one place. <h2>Know your races inside out</h2> <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-gear.png" alt="Gear management showing Minimum Required template with GPS Watch, Extra LMNT, Hydration Vest" /> Build reusable gear templates and attach them to races. GPS watch, extra LMNT, hydration vest — build it once, never have that sinking pre-race feeling again. <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-course-map.png" alt="Zion Ultras 60K course map with lap splits 38-42 and elevation profile showing 5,514 feet of gain" /> Upload a GPX file for full course visualization with elevation profile. Zion Ultras 60K — lap splits, 5,514 feet of gain, the whole terrain laid out. <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-analytics.png" alt="Analytics showing 17,930 ft total vert, 62.1 mi longest race, 100% finish rate, 37 total starts across 6 active years" /> 17,930 feet of total vert, 62.1 miles longest race, 100% finish rate (knock on wood), 37 starts across 6 years. See how your racing evolves year over year. <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-geographic.png" alt="Geographic stats showing 2 countries (USA and New Zealand) and 4 of 51 US states covered" /> 2 countries, 4 out of 51 US states. Plenty of map left to fill in. <img src="/blog/images/2026-03/blog-community.png" alt="Community feed showing Yuka completing Lake Saroma Ultramarathon 100K in 12:48:13" /> Follow other runners, share your profile as a race resume, keep tabs on friends' seasons. My friend Yuka just finished Lake Saroma 100K — right in my feed, no checking five different apps. <h2>Try it free</h2> Race Kiroku is still early — more integrations, shareable race reports, better crew tools coming.
