Why this works for running

Run clubs are the stickiest unmonetized audience in fitness. A staked streak challenge is the most natural upsell your community has ever seen.

Run-club hosts average $3,200 per 8-week challenge with ~45 active runners.

Read this first

Who this running offer is (and isn't) for.

If this doesn't describe you, close this page. We'd rather save you time than sell you something that won't work yet.

Not for you if

  • You have fewer than 5,000 engaged running followers.
  • You're not willing to post about the challenge 3–5 times in its first two weeks.
  • Your running audience is primarily outdoor/bodyweight — OutGrind is gym-verified today.
  • You already have a course doing $30k+/launch and don't want to cannibalize it.

For you if

  • You have 5k+ running-focused followers on IG, TikTok, YouTube, X, or a newsletter.
  • You've thought about a paid offer but don't want to build, host, or support the tech.
  • You want a higher-intent lead source than free PDF downloaders.
  • You'd rather own your customer relationship than rent it from brand deals.

What running coaches and run-club leaders get

Three benefits. Not thirteen.

70% of every payout

Weekly Stripe settlements. No upfront cost, no subscription. Typical host pulls $6,200/month at steady-state.

Zero infrastructure work

We handle enrollment, Stripe Connect, GPS-verified check-ins, disputes, refunds, and payouts. You post one launch video.

Your brand, our rails

Branded challenge page, branded emails, branded invite code. We're infrastructure, never the brand in front of your audience.

Earnings calculator

Run the math on your own audience.

Rough estimate based on our host-average conversion rates. Actual performance depends on how warm your audience is and how often you post about the challenge. We use 70% host / 30% platform as the default rev-share.

Participants who complete their weekly check-ins recover their stake plus a share of the forfeited pot. You earn 70% of the unclaimed remainder after Stripe fees.

Risk reversal

We don't make money until you make money.

If your first running challenge doesn't clear the minimum payout target we set together on your onboarding call, we waive our 30% platform fee on that challenge entirely. You keep 100% of the net pool.

  • Minimum payout set with you, in writing, on the onboarding call.
  • Applies to your first challenge only.
  • No refund process — fee is waived automatically at settlement.
  • Fraudulent / purchased audiences void the guarantee.
