What does partnering with Are You Faster cost?

Free for early partners. Charities and CICs are always free. Future commercial brand partnerships will move to a paid tier; existing partnerships already in editorial planning are grandfathered.

Do I have to add runners to get on the community map?

No. Registering a Community Team for your organisation is enough - the map listing is automatic. Adding runners later is optional and unlocks the in-app team competition for those members.

Where do I apply or submit my details?

Submit the form on this page or register your team at community.areyoufaster.com. You'll receive a tailored welcome email within five minutes, and a follow-up with everything else you ticked twelve hours later.

What organisations are a good fit?

Running clubs, cycling clubs, parkrun groups, school running clubs, community charities, running events, and fitness brands. We particularly welcome UK community interest companies, social enterprises, and grassroots organisations.

How long does it take to go live?

Community Team registration is live as soon as you complete it - usually within 48 hours of receiving the welcome email. Custom Challenges launch on the Monday after brief sign-off. Fantasy Team slots are scheduled into the editorial calendar.

What partners get.

Three headline ways to work with us. Map listings and Fantasy Teams are smaller-scope options you can add to the form below. None are required, none cost anything as an early partner.

Hosted Team

Your team becomes the opponent.

Hosting a community team puts each of your runners or riders into Run Wild as a selectable opponent. App users pick one of your team and play Hunter to chase them down, or Hunted to outrun them before the timer runs out - same chase mechanic as the species roster, just with your people on the other end and their actual pace driving the game.

Daily exposure across every Hunter and Hunted session in your area. Your fastest become benchmarks people want to chase; your steadiest become the pace partners they pick when they're starting out.

Custom Challenge

A weekly leaderboard with your name on it.

A themed challenge sponsored by your organisation: your concept, your branding, your prize if you want one. Runs for a week, resets, runs again. Optional prize is fully optional - visibility compounds either way.

Your sponsor card sits at the top of the challenge view all week. Tap-throughs to your bio and link. Sponsorable as the user base grows.

Founder Call

When the idea needs more shape.

If your concept is bigger than a checkbox - a brand activation, an event series, a research collaboration - book a 30-minute call directly with our founder. We listen first, build second.

Calendar link arrives within 48 hours of submitting the form. No sales call. We just want to understand what you're trying to do.

Tell us about your team

If you host a team - what we'll need.

Light-touch onboarding. Most of this is once-and-done; everything except proof-of-pace is optional.

Proof of running or riding ability for each team member. A recent race time, a Strava/Garmin export, or coach-verified pace. Used to set a fair pace profile for their in-app avatar - same approach for runs and rides.
A photo or avatar for each team member. Square, anything from a phone camera works. We'll style it inside the app.
A short organisation bio and a link. Two or three sentences. Goes on your map listing and team page.
Optional: a team story. The "why" behind your team - used for Community-mode features and Fantasy Teams editorial.
Optional: a Custom Challenge concept or Fantasy Teams pitch. If you're sponsoring a challenge or running a Fantasy Team, send a one-line idea. We'll co-design the rest.

The deal, plainly.

No fine print, no platform tax, no commitment beyond what you choose.

Free for early partners. We're a UK CIC reinvesting profits into the platform; this is how we build it together.
Cancel hosting any time. Your team can come down within 24 hours of a request. No exit fees, no debate.
One mailing list. Occasional partner updates only. Unsubscribe in any email.
Your data stays yours. We don't sell partner or user information. See our privacy policy.
