We are looking for support

Dear ultra runners,
The German ultramarathon Association (DUV) offers this statistics database to the whole ultrarunning community. From the feedback we get, we know that it is very well appreciated among athletes, race directors, researchers and journalists. We want to continue this service offered for free to all interested.
But the number of ultra marathon races is still growing and we are struggling to cover all the races world-wide which is our ultimate goal. We include more than 5000 races per year.
