The Starting Mile

Partnerships

The Starting Mile considers collaborations that fit its focus on running for beginners and returners, while keeping reader trust and clear labelling at the centre of each arrangement.

Suitable collaborations

We consider relevant campaign features, useful resources, and partner placements that make sense beside content about starting, returning, routes, pacing, routine, or kit. Proposals should explain the subject, intended placement, and what readers would encounter.

Labels and independence

Paid, sponsored, and partner material is clearly identified where it appears. Partner placements do not determine independent editorial coverage, and commercial support does not guarantee a particular view or recommendation.

Start a conversation

Use the Contact page and select the partnership option. Include a concise description of the proposed collaboration and the placement or material you have in mind. We review proposals for fit and clarity.
