Trailforks Race Courses

Plan, publish & promote race courses for any sport, on the world's largest trail map.

Built for Race Organizers

A race course on Trailforks is more than a line on a map. Draw your course or upload a GPX, break it into stages, mark aid stations & checkpoints, feature your sponsors and share an interactive course map with every racer, on the web, in the free mobile app and on your own race website.

Whether it's an enduro, XC marathon, trail run, gravel grinder or moto event, your course gets exposure on the largest trail directory in the world, and your racers get the best tools to study & pre-ride it.

More Race Course Tools

Plan Without Pre-Riding

Test possible course options in the route builder and get instant distance, elevation & trail difficulty stats, no scouting laps required. Keep drafts as private route plans until the course is final.

Trail Conditions & Race-Day Closures

Monitor trail reports & conditions for every trail on your course in the lead-up to the event, and close trails on race day so the community knows the course is in use.

Archive Past Courses

After the event, archive the course to hide it from the map while keeping it accessible — build a season-by-season history of your race without cluttering the trail network.
