#REDIRECT [[List of largest running events]] {{R from alternate name}} |
|||
This page contains a list of some of the worlds largest footraces. "Footraces" is used as a term to describe all running/jogging/walking events over a variety of distances. |
|||
The size of an event is based on either the number of registered participants or the number of race finishers, depending on which data is more easily available. Note that not all registered participants will actually complete a race. |
|||
If a yearly event has consistently high participation, the year in which that event had the largest number of participants has been listed. |
|||
This page is not meant to be a definitive ranking of race sizes, but to highlight large footrace events across the world. |

- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name}} should be used instead.
