Write for us
We welcome pitches that help readers see rural running more clearly: a precise explanation, a useful comparison or a fresh account of how routes and landscapes shape the experience. Keep proposals grounded, specific and useful beyond a single news cycle.
What to propose
Good subjects include route shapes, terrain, wayfinding, running customs and the way changing weather affects the character of a run. We are interested in distinct ideas rather than broad pieces about running in general. A pitch should make clear what the reader will understand or be able to consider by the end.
A useful pitch
Send a short outline describing the central idea, the likely structure and why it suits Rural Running Review. Mention any sources or expertise the subject needs, and flag limits or local variation. We do not need a finished article at the proposal stage.
How to send it
Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include your name and a way to reply in the form. Please do not send confidential information or material you do not have permission to share.
The route is more than its distance
Rural running asks you to notice surfaces, field edges and changing light. We look at those details without turning a run into a test.
