Help us build the social marathon training app, and get paid to do it.
We’re selecting a small group of Founding Athletes training for a fall 2026 marathon. You share your journey, your followers get an exclusive discount, and you earn from everyone who joins with your code.
What you get
Revenue share
For every subscriber who joins Stride with your code, you'll earn a portion of the revenue for as long as they stay.
A discount code for your community
Give your followers a real reason to try Stride, an exclusive discount only your people get.
Free lifetime access to Stride
The full app, with a marathon training plan built around your race, free for good.
We repost your content
We share your posts to Stride's channels, putting your training in front of our whole audience.
Founding Athlete status
You're not an affiliate. You're one of the first faces of Stride, with early access to new features and a direct line to shape the product.
A community of Founding Athletes
(Coming soon) A private space to connect with the other athletes building this with us.
Who we’re looking for
We care about who you are, not how big your following is. You’re a great fit if you’re:
- Signed up for a fall 2026 half or full marathon.
- You post your training: vlogs, run POVs, weekly recaps, race build-ups.
- A committed marathoner, whether this is your first race or your fastest.
- An engaged, authentic community that trusts your recommendations.
- You show up consistently and love bringing people along for the journey.

Run, post, earn
Train for your race, share it with Stride, and earn on every subscriber your code brings in.
Questions, answered.
Do I need a big following?
No. We select for authenticity, consistency, and a community that trusts you, not follower count.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. You get free lifetime access, and you earn on every subscriber your code brings in.
How do I get paid?
You earn a share of the revenue from every subscription that comes through your code. We'll walk you through payout details during onboarding.
What's the commitment?
Train for your race and share the journey. We ask that you post consistently and always disclose the partnership (#StridePartner). No lock-in, and you can step away anytime.
When does it start?
We're onboarding the first cohort now, ahead of fall 2026 race season. Apply today.
