What is TrailScout?

TrailScout is a trail running app that records time, distance, pace, splits and elevation on large, sunlight-readable screens, keeps a personal record for every route and compares it with friends, and downloads maps for offline navigation. It also includes running groups with a single start, a live group map, automatic check-in if you stop moving for 45 minutes, and one-tap SOS.

What you get

  • Live pace and splitsBig, sunlight-readable stats while you run: moving time, distance, pace and elevation.
  • Personal records on every routeYour best time on each trail, and how it compares with your friends and your own first try.
  • Offline mapsSave the route before you go so navigation works on the ridge and in the forest.
  • Run as a groupStart a group run with a QR code, see everyone on one map and regroup at junctions.
  • Automatic check-inRunning alone? TrailScout checks on you if you haven't moved for 45 minutes.
  • Leaderboards and streaksRank with friends by distance, elevation or outings, and keep your streak going with club challenges.

Why a dedicated app

Road running apps measure the run. Trail runners also need to know the route, its conditions and how to get help when they are alone on a ridge with no signal.

TrailScout is used for training hills like Sinhagad, monsoon forest loops in the Sahyadris and longer mountain runs.

How it works

  1. Pick a route. Browse trails nearby or anywhere, filter by activity and difficulty, and save the offline map.
  2. Gather the crew. Go solo, or host a group: friends scan your QR code and you start everyone at once.
  3. Go, with backup. Record with big, readable stats; the group map shows who is ahead and behind; SOS is one tap away.
  4. Share the finish. Elevation chart, photos and XP; stamp the peak in your passport.
