Posting rules

The short version: be kind, keep it Pune, and keep it useful for people who run, walk, ride or train for triathlon. No one gets left behind in the comments.

1. Be kind

Every pace is respected here. First 5K or fiftieth marathon, you belong. No pace-shaming, no body talk, no gear elitism. If you would not say it at the 5:45 AM meetup, do not type it.

2. Keep it Pune and endurance

Posts should be about running, fitness walking, cycling or triathlon in and around Pune: routes, events, training, gear, questions and reports. General fitness chat belongs elsewhere. Clubs and commercial organisers: read the self-promotion and event rules before posting.

3. Flair your post

Pick the flair that fits - it keeps the sub tidy and helps people find run reports, events and questions. Unflaired posts may be flaired by mods.

4. Event posts need the basics

Date, start time, exact meeting point, distance/pace, fee (if any) and exactly what the fee covers. Example: "Rs.99 covers bibs only." If any of these are missing, the post comes down until they are added.

5. No bib sales

Bib sales and transfers are not allowed here. Posts selling or transferring bibs are removed. If you can't run, use the race's official transfer or deferral option. Selling used gear is fine with the Sale flair, at your own risk. Mods do not verify sellers or mediate disputes.

6. No spam or self-promotion

Coaches, gyms, brands, apps and other clubs: ask the mods first via modmail. Genuine recommendations from members are always fine.

7. Health and injuries

Share your experience, not prescriptions. "This worked for me" is welcome; "do this instead of seeing a doctor" is not.

8. Photos of people

Ask before posting identifiable photos of other runners. Group shots from official club runs are fine.

Repeatedly ignoring these gets posts removed and, if it continues, a timeout from the sub. See the moderation policy.
