OpenRunner Profile Certification

OpenRunner profile certification clearly identifies your account as a verified profile on the platform. In practice, a visible badge on your profile confirms that your organisation has been verified by the OpenRunner team. It guarantees that the entity behind the account is indeed a recognised institution, destination or outdoor professional. For outdoor enthusiasts, this is a simple but decisive signal: they know they can trust the content on offer.

On OpenRunner, users aren't just looking for routes: they're looking for reliable routes backed by credible organisations. This is where certification plays a key role. A certified profile inspires trust from the very first interaction. It reduces uncertainty and reassures users when choosing a route. This trust translates directly into stronger engagement: your routes are viewed, saved and used more often out on the ground. Certification also strengthens your image, positioning you as an official, identifiable and legitimate player within the outdoor ecosystem. You're no longer simply publishing routes: you become a reference point for your area or activity. Finally, it makes it easier for users to take action. A reassured user hesitates less. They choose a route more quickly and move more easily from inspiration to practice.

Getting OpenRunner profile certification is a simple, transparent process. Just fill in an online request form, available from your personal account area on the platform. This form collects essential information about your organisation, your activity and your legitimacy in the outdoor sector. Once submitted, your request is reviewed by the OpenRunner team. We check the information provided and assess the relevance of your profile for our community. If your request is approved, you receive a notification and the certification badge is automatically added to your profile. The process is designed to be quick and efficient, so you can benefit from certification without delay.

To certify your profile, simply contact the OpenRunner team to start the verification process. Once approved, the certified badge is activated and your profile immediately becomes identifiable as an official player on the platform.

With an audience of more than 2 million users and hundreds of thousands of route searches every month, certification is no longer just a nice-to-have: it's a genuine lever to stand out, reassure and convert. It allows you to go from being a simple profile to a trusted reference in the eyes of outdoor enthusiasts.
