Review of Athlinks: The Perfect Place for Tracking Your Race Results

Largest Database of Results for Athletes

If you've crossed the finish line of a race your results are probably on Athlinks.

​That's because Athlinks is the world's largest database of results for athletes.

Results include running races, triathlon, swimming, cycling, mountain biking obstacle course races, and nearly any other timed endurance sport. If the results are available, Athlinks adds them to the database so you can link them to your account.

Instead of scribbling your results on the back of a bib, you can have them in a searchable database that lets you track your progress, plan your races, and compete with rivals. Keep reading! There's a lot more to Athlinks.

You can sign up for a FREE Athlinks account with email, Facebook or Google.

Use Athlinks to Track Your Progress

Athlink uses information from race directors and athlete communities to fill the database. When results are posted online, the Race Director sends files and/or links to the Athlinks team. Athlinks uploads the information to the website and database.

I had 30+ races done when I opened my free account. It was fun to create my profile, then link to all my races. It didn't take long to assemble all my stats on Athlinks. Now, I see my progress all in one place. While I'm not the fastest runner, progress keeps me motivated.   

​Athlinks gives you a few ways to view your race results:

• Overview
  You'll see your upcoming events, as well as your friends' races.
• Results
  Results includes every completed event in chronological order. You can scroll through your entire race history!
• Following
  The Following tab gives you a searchable list of fellow runners who you're connected with on Athlinks. 
• ​Rivals
  Want to see how you stack up? The Rivals tab shows how you finished in races compared to friends in the same race.
• Statistics = Personal Records
  The Statistics view shows your personal records. You'll see your best efforts for each type of race.

Feeling competitive? Click the Rivals tab (shown below) to see how you compare to other runners. If you run the same race as someone you follow, Athlinks keeps tabs on who beats who.

Whether you're already registered, or looking for your next race, Athlinks is an impressive planning tool. Use it to view upcoming races so you can plan for training and recovery. 

​To find a new race, enter an event name, date range, location, and/or type of event. Hit search and Athlinks will show your results. Below are results from searching for races near Tampa, Florida between May and December, 2018. 

As you can see, there are clickable links for previous years. Use those to see stats on the race. You can search results, see the number of participants, winning times, weather, etc. You'll find a lot of useful info. BTW, there were more results than I'm showing here.
