What makes a great runner page?

We looked at how runners present themselves online — and what sponsors actually read. The answer is shorter than you think.

Most runners point people to a feed. But a feed is built to be scrolled past, not to present you. When a sponsor or organizer opens your profile, they spend seconds — and they want three things: who you are, what you've done, and where to follow you next.

That's why a great runner page leads with a name, a photo and one line about you. Then your links, your next race, your personal bests. Everything below that is optional.

Photos matter more than walls of text. Three to six strong images say more about your season than a paragraph ever will.

And keep your PBs honest and dated. In running, numbers are the story — a 2:58 marathon says more than any bio.

This is the standard Runz is built around: one page, the essentials, nothing extra.
