A Few Things Worth Knowing
One inbox, one editor. All enquiries go directly to founder and editor Anurag Rana. There is no contact form, no ticketing system and no automated chain hiding your message.
We test before we publish. Shoe and gear samples are welcome but do not guarantee coverage or a positive outcome. We review independently and base our conclusions on what we find on actual runs.
Global coverage, genuine selection. We cover races and stories from six continents. Pitches that fit our running and fitness editorial focus move to the top of the pile.
