Terms & conditions

Working draft — to be reviewed by counsel before public launch. Plain-language summaries first; they don't replace the clauses.

Using the directory

RunFinders is a directory of running events and clubs. Listing information is compiled from race organizers, registration platforms, official event pages, and public sources, and reviewed on a rolling schedule — but races change: dates move, courses change, events sell out or cancel. Always confirm details with the organizer's own page before registering or traveling. We are not the organizer of any listed event and are not responsible for the events themselves, their conduct, cancellations, refunds, or your participation in them.

Listings

• Basic event and club listings are free and remain free.
• Submissions are reviewed before publishing; we may edit for accuracy and format, or decline listings that are misleading, unsafe, discriminatory, or not genuine running events/clubs.
• Submitting a listing confirms you have the right to share the information and grants us permission to display it. Facts remain facts; your trademarks remain yours.
• We may correct or remove any listing at any time, and organizers can request corrections or removal via the contact form.

Advertising

• Paid placements (featured events, sponsored emails, banner campaigns, takeovers) are governed by the campaign terms agreed at booking and are invoiced before the campaign runs.
• Paid placements are always labeled. Advertising a race never affects whether its free listing exists.
• Advertiser creative must meet the creative requirements; we may decline or pause creative that misleads runners.
• Campaign metrics we report (clicks) are measured by our systems; we don't guarantee registrations, and refunds/credits for underdelivery are handled per the campaign terms.

Acceptable use

Don't scrape the site wholesale, misrepresent yourself in submissions, submit content you don't have rights to, or attempt to interfere with the service. Automated access for search-engine indexing and AI assistants following robots.txt is welcome.

Liability

The service is provided "as is." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties and limit our total liability arising from your use of the site to the greater of $100 or the amounts you paid us in the prior 12 months. Running is an inherently physical activity — decisions about training and racing are yours and your doctor's, not a directory's.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; material changes will be dated here. Questions: contact us. See also the privacy policy.
