The ones we're running
Any race below that has a join a team option when you sign up, join ours. Search High Pace Society and enter the password HPS. It costs nothing extra, it puts all our results on one table, and it makes finding each other at the start line a lot easier.

These are the races High Pace Society is signed up for. Nobody has to do any of them, and nobody has to do the same distance as anyone else. Most of these events have a 5km or a 10km alongside the long stuff, so there's a way in whatever shape you're in.
Sign up in your own time. Every race below links straight to its own registration page. Once you're in, say so in the group chat and we'll sort out lifts, start-line meeting points and who's pacing who.
Tap any highlighted date to go to that race's registration page.
