Our story

About Us

RaceRanks is a race-ranking platform created by Lancaster Race Series and Shoestring, bringing together two of Lancashire’s most active and long-standing organisers of community running events.

Our aim

Clear, accurate and community-driven rankings

Built as a focused ranking site, our aim is simple: to provide clear, accurate and community-driven race rankings for runners taking part in Lancashire and North West events.

The foundations

Where our results come from

Lancaster Race Series events

Delivering well-established, high-quality races across the region.

Shoestring-timed events

Reliable manual timing and results coverage for local organisers.

Together, these two foundations ensure that every result featured here comes directly from real races, timed and delivered by organisations who know the local running community.

Community purpose

A home for local performances

RaceRanks exists to celebrate local runners, support grassroots events and give Lancashire and North West athletes a dedicated home for their performances, progress and achievements.

We hope you enjoy the site.
