What is a .run domain?
.run is an open generic top-level domain managed by Binky Moon, LLC through Identity Digital Inc., aimed at runners, race organisers and running retailers. IANA records its delegation to Snow Park, LLC on 4 May 2015, entry to the root on 7 May 2015, and the March 2018 move to Binky Moon.
- Type: generic TLD, Latin script, no eligibility test.
- Registry manager: Binky Moon, LLC (c/o Identity Digital Inc., Bellevue, Washington).
- DNSSEC: secure delegation at the root.
- Registry’s intended market: runners, running-shoe and gear shops, and running event organisers.
The verb also has a second life in technology, where “run” means to execute, so short names like deploy.run read naturally to developers.
Who in India uses a .run domain?
India’s growing road-running scene is the core audience: city running clubs, half-marathon and trail-race organisers, running coaches, shoe and gear shops, and charity runs. Each needs a short address that fits on a race bib, a T-shirt or a WhatsApp group description.
| Buyer | Example name | What the site handles |
|---|---|---|
| City running club | jaipurrunners.run | Weekly runs, routes and membership |
| Half-marathon organiser | pinkcityhalf.run | Registration, bib collection, results |
| Himalayan trail race | spitiultra.run | Course maps, permits, cut-off times |
| Running coach | sub2hour.run | Training plans and coaching sign-ups |
| Shoe and gear shop | runkit.run | Gait analysis bookings and product pages |
| Charity or corporate run | runforwater.run | Fundraising pages and team sign-ups |
How much does a .run domain cost?
WebJi® lists .run at ₹1,815 for the first year and ₹2,205 a year to renew, before 18% GST, as read from billing on 4 November 2026 — cheaper than most sports extensions. That makes a separate .run name per race edition affordable, though one name with yearly pages is easier to manage.
| Extension | Year one (₹) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Fits | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .run | ₹1,815 | ₹2,205 | Running clubs, races, coaches | Register → |
| .fitness | ₹2,722 | ₹3,289 | Gyms and general training | Register → |
| .events | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | Event companies across sports and culture | Register → |
| .team | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | Clubs that play team sports | Register → |
For budgeting, year one plus two renewals at these listed rates is ₹6,225 before tax; checkout prices a prepaid multi-year order, so use that as an estimate. Single words like “marathon” may be registry premiums.
What does a race website on .run need?
A race site must handle a spike of registrations, take payments, and publish results quickly after the race, all from a phone. Plan for race-day traffic rather than an average day.
- Registration with category, T-shirt size and emergency contact, plus a waiver checkbox.
- Payment by UPI and cards; see payment gateways in India.
- Confirmation emails from an authenticated address on business email.
- Course map, start times, bib-collection details and parking on one page.
- Results and timing links within hours; spare capacity for that traffic, covered in websites crashing under traffic.
Are there rules for registering .run?
No — .run is open to any individual or organisation with accurate contact details, first come, first served, under the registry’s acceptable-use policy. No athletics federation membership or event permission is checked.
Race organisers still need local permissions for road closures and should avoid names that copy a well-known race brand, which can lead to a UDRP complaint. Keep the club or race on one .run name and add a page per edition, rather than a new domain each year; the domain registration hub covers renewals.
Frequently asked questions
Who runs the .run registry?
Binky Moon, LLC is the registry manager in the IANA root zone database, operating through Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. .run was first delegated to Snow Park, LLC in May 2015 and moved to Binky Moon in the 2018 transfer of 196 extensions.
Should a running club use .run or .in?
Either works. A .in name at ₹1,000 a year is cheaper to keep, while .run says “running” before anyone reads the name and costs ₹2,205 a year at the rates listed on 4 November 2026. Many clubs choose .run because it fits on kit and bibs.
Can a software company use .run?
Yes. The extension has no use restriction, and developers read “run” as executing code, so names such as deploy.run or tests.run suit tools and documentation. Check the label is not a trademark of an existing product first.
What does .run cost for three years?
At the listed rates, ₹1,815 for year one plus two renewals at ₹2,205 is ₹6,225 before GST. That is a planning estimate; checkout prices any prepaid multi-year term.
Is the .run zone signed with DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA lists a secure delegation with a DS record for .run. Enable DNSSEC for your own name at your DNS host, especially for race sites that take registrations and payments.
