Editorial Policy

Stridecount publishes factual reference material about the discipline of athletics, focusing on marks, records, and the conditions under which they are achieved. The site covers topics such as specific disciplines, competitions, athletes, programmes, and venues. It will not publish betting content, invented quotations, or any material concerning an individual's private life. It also avoids presenting health, legal, or financial guidance as instructional advice.

The site maintains a clear separation between reporting and reference material. Reference pages provide established, verifiable facts such as competition results, athlete career statistics, and specifications for events. News sections contain time-bound reporting on recent occurrences, such as competition outcomes or official announcements, which are always labelled as such. This distinction ensures readers understand the nature of the information they are viewing.

When a claim cannot be independently verified through primary sources like official results, governing body data, or credible first-hand reports, Stridecount will not publish it as fact. Unverified claims may be referenced within a reported news story only with clear attribution to their source and with language that indicates the information is alleged or unconfirmed.

All images used on Stridecount are real photographs. Where a credit exists, it is displayed. The site will never use software-generated images depicting a real person's face. Images serve to illustrate relevant factual content, such as competition venues, athletic equipment, or action from events, and are always directly related to the subject matter of the page.

Readers with corrections, suggestions for factual amendments, or inquiries regarding published material can contact the editors. Correspondence should be directed to the email address provided in the site's contact section. This feedback is essential for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the reference material on Stridecount.
