Attention, running enthusiasts! OnlyFans is now officially sponsoring its first trail runner, and Sabrina Stanley is the lucky athlete who’ll be sporting their logo. OnlyFans may have built its following as everyone’s favorite naughty little corner of the internet, but over the past few years, the platform has actively worked to attract an audience beyond those hunting for their new favorite titty pics. Their strategy? Athletic sponsorships.
Sabrina Stanley is the latest athlete to say “yes” to an OnlyFans sponsorship. She grew up in Washington State and was involved in various sports from a young age. Having spent her formative years in and around mountains, she discovered that trail running was her zone of genius and more or less coached herself to zoom like a deer up and down the hills. She’s a two-time Hardrock 100 champion (2018 and 2021), claimed victory at the 2019 Grand Raid La Réunion/Diagonale des Fous, and placed in the top 10 finishers at UTMB Mont Blanc in both 2023 and 2024. She recently announced that she’s accepted an offer to be sponsored by OnlyFans, making her the first runner to land a deal with the adults-only platform.
Stanley has expressed excitement about her new partnership and has given the general public an idea of what we can expect. She plans to give subscribers a peek behind the scenes at her training process, race preparations, and personal experiences in the trail running world.
Stanley is far from the first athlete to be welcomed into the OnlyFans crew. The platform has been actively seeking out athletes to sponsor as it works to diversify its image and prove it’s more than just adult content. French tennis player Alexandre Müller, Olympic bobsledding champion Lisa Buckwitz, downhill mountain biker Stefan Garlicki, and beach volleyball players Hagen Smith and Falyn Fonoimoana have all proudly accepted OnlyFans as a professional sponsor. These athletes—along with many others—have embraced the opportunity not only to have someone else foot some of the bills but also to utilize the platform to take control of their image and connect with their fans. OnlyFans has been investing time and money into making itself a space where all kinds of creators can showcase their work, and it’s starting to show.
Of course, OnlyFans carries a bit of social stigma, given that it’s a platform where explicit content is both allowed and protected. Athletes like Stanley have played a crucial role in helping the adults-only platform shake off its reputation as just a naughty little website. And it’s not just athletes showing up with non-explicit content! Chefs are using OnlyFans to offer monetized kitchen tutorials, artists are teaching subscribers different techniques, and storytellers are leveraging the platform as a means of financial support while building a loyal audience willing to pay for the privilege of following them anywhere.
We hope that being sponsored by OnlyFans opens new doors for Sabrina Stanley and all the athletes who have signed on with the adults-only platform. Could OnlyFans become a mainstream hub for content creators? At this point, the sky’s the limit.
