Advertising had been our support vehicle for three plus decades with our print, and two decades on digital. Advertising is in a crisis, and as the evolution and revolution takes place, we want to find ways to continue to support the athletic community. As we continue to grow and evolve, we see that we need other forms of support. Your support via Patreon means we can provide more coverage of athletes, events, coaches, and the behind the scenes content that you have come to expect from RunBlogRun.

In 2019, we have big plans, more live events, more video, more audio, more podcasts, more challenging the status quo. For that, we need your help. Please check out our Patreon site: https://www.patreon.com/RunBlogRun. For the price of one coffee a month, you can support RunBlogRun!
