Submit a marathon for paid review
Request a $199 payment link for a source check so runners can trust the date, location, registration link, and official race details before they plan travel.
Paid review basics
Updating an existing race?
Search first if your race may already be on Sunday Marathon. Existing listings give you an Update listing path that preloads the public race details into this paid review request.
- Search the public directory.
- Use Update listing if the race is already there.
- Submit a new paid review only when the race is missing.
Confirm the review details
We prefilled details from the link you opened. Confirm the official source, registration link, and organizer contact before sending the paid review request.

| 4. Track status | Organizer dashboard shows payment status, review status, next step, and approved listings for your account. |
Before you submit

|---|---|
| Exact date | Submit a specific race date. We do not publish guessed dates or stale placeholders. |
| Location | Include city and country, plus state or region when it helps runners plan travel. |

Paid review FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the organizer paid review include?
The $199 review covers one marathon listing or marathon-family race weekend. Sunday Marathon checks the official source, race date, location, distances, registration path, and organizer contact context before making a publication decision.
Does payment guarantee publication, ranking, or traffic?
No. Payment books the source review workflow. It does not guarantee publication, approval, search ranking, traffic, advertising placement, or unsupported race claims.
Should runners pay Sunday Marathon to register?
No. Runner planning tools are free, and runners should register only through the official race organizer or registration platform linked from the listing.
Can organizers update an existing listing?
Yes. Search for the race first and use the update listing path when it already exists. That preloads known details and helps avoid duplicate paid-review requests.
When does review work start?
Review work starts after payment is confirmed. If instant checkout is not available on the public form, Sunday Marathon sends the secure payment-link follow-up before the review begins.
