Free during beta · early members get bonus on first commitment · no spam ever
Whatever kind of runner you are.
There's a path from where you are to earning real money for runs you'd already do.
Regular
From training alone → '€70 per month, every month'.
Stake bigger commitments. Compete head-to-head against runners at your level. Win sponsored challenges.
Serious
From data on Strava → '€1,500+ a year for runs you'd do anyway'.
Top runners on the platform stack commitments, competitions, sponsored prizes, gear cashback, and recurring referral income.
How it works, in three pieces.
Skip the gimmicks. This is real infrastructure for runners who want their effort to pay them back.
Running Index

/100
Silver tier1. GET RATED
Your Running Index, calibrated to you
Connect your Strava or upload your training history. Our AI analyzes your pace, consistency, and progression to assign a verified skill rating between 0 and 100.
The Index isn't just a fitness number — it's your competitive identity. It determines who you're matched against in 1v1 races, which sponsored challenges you can enter, and which earning tier you unlock. Think of it as the runners-only equivalent of a chess Elo rating, calibrated by AI from your actual running, not your self-assessment.
2. BACK YOURSELF
Stake your monthly commitment
Set a goal calibrated to your level. Hit it, your stake comes back plus a bonus. Miss it, your stake supports the prize pool that funds achievers. Self-funding, behaviourally addictive, never demoralising.

3. COMPETE AND EARN
Three ways to make running pay
Index-matched 1v1 competitions. Sponsored monthly challenges with brand-funded prize pools. Gear cashback at partner stores. Refer friends and earn €2/month per active runner — forever.
Real money. Real verification.
Honest runners shouldn't subsidise cheaters. Every euro paid out comes from real subscribers, so every fake run literally steals from the real ones. We protect the pool — and you.

Questions runners ask.
Is this gambling?
No. RunVerified is a skill-based platform with a service rebate model. We're not regulated as gambling in any EU jurisdiction we operate in. Real legal opinions on file.
How do you prevent cheating?
Multi-layer verification — GPS, motion sensors, optional heart rate, optional camera spot-checks on high-value runs. Verification is mandatory for earnings. We catch cheaters because every euro they steal comes from honest runners.
What if I'm a beginner?
Beginners earn from small commitments, gear cashback, and beginner-tier sponsored challenges. The Index calibrates to your starting level. You don't compete with marathoners until you're ready.
Does it work with my Garmin / Apple Watch / Polar / Coros?
Yes — all of them. RunVerified syncs with Strava, Garmin Connect, Apple Health, Polar Flow, and direct file uploads (GPX, TCX). Bring whatever gear you already own. Heart rate monitors unlock bigger sponsored challenge tiers, but they're never required to start earning.
When does it launch?
Bulgaria public launch in Q3 2026. Romania a few months later. Closed beta begins in Q2 with founding waitlist members.
Do I need a Garmin or Apple Watch?
No. Your phone is enough for verification. Wearables unlock additional verification layers and bigger sponsored prize tiers, but they're never required.
