Methodology and policies
Want to see how pages are reviewed or how advertising is labeled? Start with our Methodology, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service.
Response time
We typically respond within 1-2 business days. Messages with a race URL, official update link, registration page, or source document are usually faster to review because we can verify the change against the listing data immediately.
What to include in your message
Runners should include the page they were viewing, the race name if relevant, and a short description of the question or correction. If you are asking about a Boston standard, include the race year you are targeting so we can point you to the right standards and planning tools.
Race directors should include the official race website, registration link, current event date, city and state, and any source that verifies course certification, marathon distance, or race-weekend logistics. We do not publish unsupported claims about BQ rates, course changes, or certification status, so source links help keep updates accurate.
Advertisers should include the race or organization name, desired placement window, target landing page, and whether the campaign is meant to promote registration, a deadline, a course update, or a sponsored spotlight. Sponsored content remains labeled and does not change organic BMQR scoring.
Why source links matter
BMQR is used by runners making registration, travel, and training decisions, so we avoid publishing unsupported changes. A source link helps us distinguish confirmed updates from rumors, old race pages, duplicate registration listings, or archived event information. It also helps us decide whether a race page is ready to be indexed, should remain noindexed until more information is available, or needs a redirect because the public URL has changed.
Clear sourcing also keeps response loops shorter. When a message includes the official page and the exact requested change, we can usually verify the issue directly instead of asking for follow-up context.
If you are unsure which source to send, choose the most official public page available: the race website, registration provider, race director announcement, certification record, or organizer contact page.

Contact FAQ
Can runners request race advice? Yes. We can point you toward relevant BMQR tools and pages, though we cannot replace a coach, medical professional, or the official race organizer.
Can race directors request corrections? Yes. Send the official source and the exact field that should change. Date, course, and certification updates are reviewed against source material before publication.
Can advertisers influence rankings? No. Paid placements are labeled and handled separately from organic scoring, editorial notes, and race indexability decisions.
What happens after a correction is sent? We review the source, update the appropriate data or page when confirmed, and keep thin or unsupported listings out of the sitemap until they have enough verified value for runners.
Where should urgent race-day changes go? Send them by email with "urgent race update" in the subject and include the official announcement URL. Time-sensitive updates are still verified before publication.
