🤖 What is RTM 2027?
RTM 2027 is a worldwide running season built around ten different distances and ten shared Race Weekends.
From January to October, the first Friday–Sunday weekend of each month brings a new RTM distance.
Your first result establishes your starting level.
After that, The Machine sets personalised targets based on your results and adapts them as the season develops.
You don’t have to be the fastest.
You have to beat what The Machine thinks you can do.

Race 08: 50 Minutes — How Far Can You Go?
Race Weekends run Friday to Sunday, wherever you are in the world.
Roads. Trails. Track. Treadmill. Another organised race.
The distance is shared. The target is yours.
⚡ You Don’t Have to Make Every Weekend
Full RTM 2027 entrants receive three Flex Runs.
A Flex lets you complete or re-run an official RTM distance outside its scheduled Race Weekend.
And you only need to complete 7 of the 10 distances to:
Beat The Machine 2027
Complete all ten and become:
Machine Accomplished 2027
So while RTM has a shared monthly rhythm, there is still room for your own races, holidays, work and running life.
🌍 A Worldwide Start Line
The RTM 2027 field is already growing, with runners joining from around the world.
There is no fixed venue and no single start line.
Different routes. Different weather. Different sides of the world.
Same Machine.
