Master web site for race results
Want to compare race results in a snap? When you type in your name at www.athlinks.com, up pops a list of races that you’ve competed in during the last few years, with your finish information for each one.
It’s not quite a complete list, but when I typed in my name, I found results from the 2000 and 2004 Danskin Women’s Triathlon (this year and last year’s didn’t show up, because I competed as part of a relay team), the Cap 2K Open Water Swim for the past few years, the 2007 and 2008 Statesman Capitol 10,000, and five years of the South Haven (Michigan) Blueberry Festival 5K.
And it’s free!
I think it’s a great way to track your progress. With a quick glance, I could see how my times have improved in the 5K Blueberry run. (This year was my fastest!)
The website pulls results from swimming, running and cycling races, plus triathlons, all over the country.
It also broadcasts your age (I’m 44, by the way) to anyone who cares. And if you’re shy about sharing race results, well, you’re out of luck.
Know of any other cool websites for athletes? Post ‘em here!

Pamela, Hi - thanks for the plug! I just wanted to clarify a thing or two for your readers.
First, we have over 35 million individual results in the searchable database from over 100,000 races. Our members can very simply submit races for us to pull the results - so for our active members, their list of results can quickly be brought up to 100% comprehensive coverage.
Also, you can register under an alias which will hide your name and age from visiting eye balls. You can also submit a removal request which will allow your results to be removed from the database altogether.
Thanks for the support and Happy Racing!
