Field notes
The race cards show distances and start times alongside short route descriptions, and some link directly to official race information. Language coverage varies by event: the Melkbos listing names English and Afrikaans, while the New York City Marathon listing names six languages. The homepage also invites race directors to add a race, but the extracted page does not describe that submission process.
