Who uses the site
- Runners in ten active US cities: the Bay Area, NYC, LA, Chicago, Boston, DC, Seattle, Denver and Boulder, Austin and San Diego.
- Younger runners and run-club regulars looking for their next 5K, half or first marathon.
- Deadline shoppers who check the early-bird list before they register.
Placements
Featured listing
Your race pinned at the top of your city page and the matching distance and area pages, with a "Featured" label, your logo and a register button. Weekly or through race day.
Newsletter sponsor
One sponsor per city edition of the weekly email. Your logo, about 60 words and one link, clearly marked as sponsored. Great for the two to three weeks before a price increase.
Price-increase alert
Your early-bird deadline highlighted in the city email and on the price-increases page the week it ends.
Launch pricing
The site is new, so we don't quote traffic yet. Early race partners get launch rates, plus a click report after the run. Ask and we'll share current numbers before you book.
Our rules
- Real races only. Every featured race must be a real, permitted event with a working registration page.
- Always labeled. Paid placements say Featured or Sponsored, and links use rel="sponsored".
- Listings stay neutral. Paying never changes a race's date, price or the order of the free listings.
