Who can list
Registered charities and non-profits that hold official charity entries for the race they list. We check your registration number before your listings show the verified badge.
No bib sales or transfers
OpenBibs is only for official charity entries that the charity allocates through its own application process. You may not use OpenBibs to sell, transfer, swap or broker a race entry or bib, and neither may runners. Many races ban transfers and resales, and runners with a transferred bib can be turned away. We remove any listing that looks like a transfer or resale.
Your apply link
The apply link must go to your charity's own website or your known fundraising platform. We check it in review.
Keep it accurate
- List the real number of open spots, the fundraising minimum and the application deadline.
- Don't promise an entry: you choose who runs for you.
- Answer the "Still open?" emails we send, or mark the listing as filled. Listings that aren't confirmed for 21 days are hidden.
Your fundraising, your rules
You're responsible for your own fundraising, your own application terms and any charity registration your fundraising needs in each place where you raise money. OpenBibs never asks for, receives or holds donations.
Paid placements
Featured listings are paid, and the board labels them Sponsored. Paying never skips review, and these rules apply the same way to every listing.
No race branding
Don't upload race logos or suggest that OpenBibs or your listing is endorsed by the race. Race names are only used to describe the event.
Review
Every new listing, and every edit to a live listing, is reviewed before it goes live. We may reject or remove listings that break these rules.
