About

Athlinks claims to have the "most comprehensive database of endurance race results and events anywhere in the world". Users can mark their own race results, and build a thorough list of their race history.[1]

The website also has a "rivals" feature, where a user can compare themselves to athletes with similar results.[2] Like other social network websites, a user maintains a group of "friends". In addition, users may keep a training log, list their gear items, upload photos, and present a schedule of future events.

In February 2013, ChronoTrack, a provider of timing, race management and live race services, announced that it had acquired Athlinks.[3]

gollark: I mean, if you just stick it on in the background like I do for all TV content ever, totally achievable.
gollark: Unfortunately, I do sometimes have to write programs people will interact with.
gollark: I'm trying to work out exactly how search is to be integrated into the UI.
gollark: What an excellent idea. On an unrelated note, minoteaur *is* to be initiated.
