RacePace Partners with ITRA to Turn Every Runner’s Race History into Smarter Race-Day Strategy

Trail and ultra-running race-strategy platform RacePace has announced a partnership with the International Trail Running Association (ITRA), integrating ITRA performance data directly into its race-planning engine.

Until now, RacePace users entered their ITRA score manually. Through the new integration, the platform automatically pulls each runner’s ITRA score along with their complete race history – every mountain race they have ever run – and feeds it straight into their personalized race strategy.

The integration significantly upgrades RacePace’s prediction engine. Rather than relying on a single performance number, the platform can now read a runner’s real mountain experience from years back: the distances raced, the terrain covered, and the years of accumulated racing behind the score. This means that even athletes returning from a long break from training or competition receive race plans that reflect the experience they have actually built – not just their current fitness snapshot.

“Your ITRA score is one number. Your years in racing are everything behind it,” said Ido Dassa, CEO and Founder of RacePace. “This partnership lets our prediction engine see the runner you actually are. Every mountain race you’ve ever finished now counts toward your next race plan – automatically.”

“ITRA doesn’t just rank trail runners – they’re opening the sport up to more people. That’s the same mission we chase every day: the kind of strategy that used to be reserved for elite athletes, now in every runner’s pocket, from the front of the pack to the very back.”

The ITRA integration is available to all RacePace users at www.findracepace.com.
