RunVerified partners with sport retailers, race organizations, run clubs, and brands who want access to a verified, engaged running audience.
Why partner with us
Most fitness platforms offer brands one thing: ad impressions. We offer something more valuable — verified athletic activity, segmented by skill tier, with measurable conversion to in-store sales and brand affinity.
When a Decathlon-tier brand sponsors a challenge on RunVerified, every runner who joins is a verified active runner who has just demonstrated commitment by paying us a subscription fee. They're not casual scrollers — they're paying customers of running.
Partnership types
Founding gear partner. One per country. Exclusive co-branded challenges, in-app voucher pool, performance-based pricing (you pay only when redemptions convert). Limited availability — Bulgaria slot under negotiation as of 29 April 2026, Romania opening Q1 2027.
Race organization partner. Embed RunVerified in your race communications. Your participants become our users. We promote your race in-app to runners training for similar distances. Revenue-share on subscriptions originating from your channel.
Sponsored challenge partner. Fund a monthly challenge with a prize pool. Your brand appears on every screen runners see while competing. Pricing scales with audience tier — Bronze tier (beginners) is most affordable, Elite tier (serious athletes) is premium.
Run club partner. Local clubs become Ambassadors with structured income share. Your members get a discount, you earn ongoing revenue from every active subscriber you bring in.
Pricing
We don't publish standard pricing because every partnership is structured to your goals — foot traffic, brand association, subscription conversion, or product placement. Most partnerships are performance-based with no upfront cost.

What we won't do

- Create challenges that promise things we can't verify
- Partner with brands whose values don't match ours (alcohol, tobacco, gambling, predatory financial services)
