Partnerships

Honest Running Journal considers collaborations that are relevant to recreational running and useful to readers. A partnership does not buy an editorial endorsement or guarantee that a proposal will be accepted.

Possible collaborations

We may consider clearly defined partner features, relevant product or service introductions, and placements that fit the publication’s subject. Proposals should explain the offer, intended audience, requested format and any claims or materials involved. We do not accept work that depends on misleading health or performance promises.

Labelling and separation

Paid content and partner placements are labelled in plain language. Readers should be able to tell when a commercial relationship is involved. Partners do not receive automatic control of independent editorial coverage, and we will not present a paid message as an independent recommendation.

How to propose

Use the Contact page and choose the partnership option. Include the organisation or product name, the proposed collaboration, its intended audience and any relevant terms. We review proposals for fit and clarity; sending one does not imply acceptance.
