'WEB DIRECTORY' pages on Running < Go to Table of Contents, above. > < Go to Top of Page, above. > It seems that 'web directories' are dying out. Google and Yahoo closed theirs down around 2014. Then around 2017, the directory from which the Google and Yahoo web-directories were spawned --- the DMOZ "Open Directory Project" closed down. It seems that it is just not feasible for a team of people to keep up with all the sites that are going dead and the new sites that appear. About a year after the dmoz.org site closed down, it appears that a new web-directory site --- curlie.org --- arose from the ashes of 'dmoz.org'. It remains to be seen how long that web-directory lasts. Following are a few links related to 'web directory' sites. Wikipedia List of Web Directories - at en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ List_of_web_directories the 'Curlie' web-directory project on RUNNING - at curlie.org/ Sports/ Running/ (see the links at the bottom of that page --- or click on categories such as "Chats and Forums" or "Clubs" or "Directories" or "News and Media" or "Personal Pages" or "Regional" or "Shopping" or "Training" --- or "Cross Country" or "Road Running" or "Trail Running" --- or see Google GROUPS and other search engines at the bottom of the page) Rather than depending on any remaining 'web-directory' links, here are some WEB SEARCHES to get you started with 'running' inquiries --- using keywords 'running shoe sale', and keywords 'run 5k', and keywords 'run marathon'. Another approach to take: Go to the Wikipedia 'Distance_running' page and start following links from that page. Go to Table of Contents, above.
