Forever A Runner (foreverarunner.com) is a free directory of running races and run clubs, with free running calculators. This page explains in plain language what information the site collects and what happens to it. There are no user accounts, and we don't sell your information.
You can browse races, clubs, states, charts and tools without signing up or giving us any personal information.
If you use Submit a Race or Submit a Club, we collect:
Your submission is saved in our database (hosted by Cloudflare) as “pending” and reviewed by the site owner. Nothing is published unless it is approved. If it is approved, only the race or club details are added to the directory. Your name and email address are never shown on the site.
We use your email address only if we need to ask you about your submission. The site doesn't send automated emails, and we don't add you to any mailing list. Submissions, including your name and email, stay in our database after review until we delete them. You can ask us to delete yours at any time (see Contact).
Spam protection: the forms have a hidden field that only bots fill in. Those submissions are thrown away without being saved. To limit abuse, each visitor can send up to 5 submissions per hour. To count them, we store a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address with a counter, not the IP address itself.
All the calculators, including the shoe lifespan tracker, run entirely in your browser. The numbers you enter are not sent to us and are not saved on your device. Refreshing the page clears them.
_ga) and receives information like the pages you view, your device and browser type, your approximate location and your IP address. Google handles that data under its own privacy policy. You can block it with your browser's cookie settings, a content blocker, or Google's opt-out add-on.analytics.js script labels a few actions (such as opening a race page, starting a submission or searching) for an analytics service called Umami, but only if Umami is loaded. Umami is not loaded on the site right now, so this script sends nothing.The site runs on Cloudflare (Cloudflare Workers and a Cloudflare D1 database). Cloudflare processes every request to deliver and protect the site, which involves your IP address and browser details. Our Cloudflare request logs (the page address, the time and technical request details) are kept for about 3 days so we can fix problems. Cloudflare's own processing is covered by Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Race listings come from the RunSignup API and from submissions we have reviewed. “Visit Website” and registration links take you to other sites, such as RunSignup or a race's own site. Once you're there, that site's privacy policy applies, not this one. When you follow a link, those sites only see that you came from foreverarunner.com, not which page you were on. We don't share your submission details with RunSignup or race organizers.
The site doesn't have a separate contact email address. To ask a question, or to have a submission you sent deleted, use the Submit a Race form. Put “Privacy request” as the race name, fill in any city and state, and write your request in the description. Use the same email address you submitted with so we can find your submission. We will not publish it.
If what the site collects changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
