Runner’s World publishes stories about every aspect of running, from tips on how to get started to human interest pieces to training plans for competitive runners aiming for a new PR, and everything in between.
We speak to all runners: beginners, high school athletes, joggers, experienced competitors, casual runners, sprinters, trail runners, and those who run ultra distances. Our audience is both male and female (about 50/50 split), and they respond best to stories that explain how to better themselves as runners.
All of our story rates vary and are dependent on story length, required research/reporting, turnaround time, and more.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that Runner's World pays around $1 per word. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.
