FAQ
Frequently asked questions about this briefing
Answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Which Zolder42 format should I pick — marathon, half marathon or relay?
Four formats: marathon, half marathon, and a relay version of each (split the distance with a team). Want to run the full distance solo? Pick marathon or half. Prefer a team or fewer kilometres? Pick a relay. The ticket value per format is listed under the reward; Sunday Squad handles your entry.Read the full answer →
Do I have to be an experienced runner to join Zolder42?
No. We're after authentic content around your preparation and the race — and that story is often stronger while you're training toward your goal. Not got a full marathon in your legs? Pick the half or a relay. What counts is that you actually run and bring your community along, not your finish time.Read the full answer →

Frequently asked questions about your application
Answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Do I need to have 10,000 followers?
No. We work with nano- and micro-influencers from 1,000 followers, sometimes fewer if the community clicks. What counts is that you really train and that your audience sees it.Read why a micro-audience in one sport outperforms broad reach →
Why should I apply if I'm not guaranteed to be selected?
Because one application puts you in view not for one collab, but for all the next ones. Your profile stays in the pool; selection is about fit, and fit varies per campaign. Not being chosen says something about the match of that moment, not about you.Read how your profile stays in the pool for all future collabs →
How do I refine or expand my content idea after applying?
Through your account: log in, open the collab, go to Application, edit the Content idea field and click Save changes — you can do this until we make the selection. Keep it concrete and on-brand.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the selection
Answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Does everyone who applies for a collab get selected automatically?
No. Every collab has 25 spots and we select on sporting match, content quality and engagement — not just follower count. You can't lose by applying; you can only get selected.Find out what happens to your profile after a non-selection →
Can I improve my chances of being selected?
Yes: keep your profile complete, post real sports content regularly, respond quickly to invitations and only say yes to collabs that genuinely fit. It's cumulative — whoever fits well, delivers on time and communicates honestly becomes more interesting for future squads.Find out what really counts in selection — and what doesn't →
Do I have a better chance of being selected if I've done a Sunday Squad collab before?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no — it depends on how that previous collab went. After each collab we evaluate: deliver well and it counts in your favour; drop out or deliver half-heartedly and it weighs the other way. And it stays just one criterion alongside fit, content idea, reach and engagement. We cRead the full answer →

Frequently asked questions about this collab
Everything you need to know about this partnership.
Do I get paid as a sportfluencer at Sunday Squad?
Not in cash. You get the brand's product as the reward for your content — no fee, no transfer. Cash attracts creators who monetise; product attracts creators who want to use the brand. What you get exactly is always set out up front in the briefing.Read what you concretely get in return for your content →
Can I still work with other brands on the side?
Yes. Sometimes a brand asks for a non-compete for competitors in the same category — that's stated explicitly in the briefing. For other brands in other categories you stay completely free.Read how ethics apply when the briefing contains no ban →
