The platform supports different types of running events, including virtual runs, on-site races, hybrid events, distance challenges, community runs, and organiser-managed events.
For runners, HelloRun makes the event journey easier. You can browse events, register online, submit run proof, monitor your review status, view approved results, and access certificates when your entry is accepted.
For organisers, HelloRun provides tools for managing event pages, participant records, payment verification, proof review, leaderboard publishing, and certificates.
The goal is simple: make running events easier to join, easier to manage, and easier to trust.

Participation and management
Who HelloRun is for
HelloRun is for runners who want to stay active without being limited by one location, schedule, device, or tracking app. It is also for organisers who want a better way to manage events without relying only on spreadsheets, chat messages, manual screenshots, and separate certificate files.
For organisers
Create event pages, review submissions, manage participants, and publish approved results through one workflow built for coaches, community leaders, race organisers, and fitness group admins.
From registration to approval
How virtual runs work
A virtual run allows you to complete your distance wherever you are, within the event period set by the organiser. You can run on the road, on a track, on a treadmill, or in any safe location accepted by the event rules.
- 1
Choose an event that matches your distance or goal.
- 2
Register through the event page.
- 3
Complete your run within the allowed event period.
- 4
Record your activity using your preferred running app, watch, treadmill record, or accepted tracking method.
- 5
Submit your proof through HelloRun.
- 6
Wait for organiser or admin review.
- 7
Once approved, your result may appear on the leaderboard and your certificate may become available.
Each event may have its own rules. Before submitting, always check the event details, accepted proof types, distance rules, and submission deadline.
Credible event results
Why submissions and leaderboards are reviewed
HelloRun is built around submission review, status tracking, and organiser approval. Results are not meant to become final just because a screenshot was uploaded.
Submissions may be reviewed before they appear publicly, count toward rankings, or qualify for certificates. This helps protect the credibility of each event.
Organisers set the rules for their events, while HelloRun provides the workflow for submitting, reviewing, approving, and publishing results.
Approved results should be based on submitted evidence, not unchecked claims.
Reviewers may check
- Runner name
- Distance completed
- Activity duration and date
- Uploaded screenshot or activity proof
- Event eligibility
- Duplicate or mismatched submissions
- Suspicious or incomplete entries
Clear proof handling
Data privacy and proof handling
HelloRun may ask runners to upload screenshots, activity records, payment receipts, or other event-related proof.
Uploaded proof may be viewed by authorised reviewers, such as platform administrators or the organiser responsible for the event. HelloRun does not treat uploaded proof as public content unless the platform or event page clearly states that a specific item will be shown publicly.
Public event information may include approved results, rankings, participant names, event participation, and leaderboard details, depending on the event settings.
You should know what you submit, why it is needed, and how it may be used for event review.
Read the Privacy PolicyUploaded proof may be used to
- Confirm registration
- Review payment status
- Verify run completion
- Check leaderboard eligibility
- Resolve event concerns
- Support certificate approval
Structured recognition
Certificates and recognition
HelloRun certificates are event-based recognition records. A certificate confirms that a runner joined or completed a specific event based on the event rules and approved submissions.
Certificates may be issued after the runner's registration, payment status, and run proof have been reviewed and accepted, depending on the event requirements.
A HelloRun certificate does not replace official race timing, government-issued documents, school records, professional accreditation, or third-party certification unless clearly stated by the organiser.
Know who manages the event
Official and organiser-managed events
HelloRun may host different types of events. Some events may be directly managed by HelloRun. Others may be created and managed by independent organisers using the HelloRun platform.
Directly managed or recognised
This means the event is directly managed or officially recognised by HelloRun.
Run by an independent organiser
This means the event is created, managed, and reviewed by an organiser using the HelloRun platform.
Before joining, runners should always check the event details and organiser information to understand who is responsible for event rules, registration review, proof approval, participant support, and event-specific decisions.
A clearer workflow
Why HelloRun exists
Running events are meaningful, but the process behind them can become messy. Runners submit screenshots through chat. Organisers check payment receipts manually. Results get stored in spreadsheets. Certificates are prepared separately. Leaderboards are hard to keep updated.
HelloRun was created to make that process clearer by bringing registration, proof submission, review, results, and recognition into one organised workflow.
For runners, that means fewer scattered forms and messages. For organisers, that means less manual tracking and a clearer way to manage participants. For the running community, that means better event credibility and better visibility for approved finishers.
Local roots, open participation
Our story
HelloRun started from a practical idea: running events should be easier to manage and easier to trust.
Many running communities already have strong participation, motivated runners, and dedicated organisers. The challenge is often the system behind the event: collecting registrations, checking payment proof, reviewing screenshots, updating leaderboards, and issuing certificates without losing track of approved participants.
HelloRun was built to answer those problems. It began as a solution for managing running events in a local community. It is now designed for runners, organisers, and communities wherever they are.
The goal is not to replace the experience of running. The goal is to remove confusion around registration, submissions, review, results, and recognition.
