TrailSplits combines official course data with terrain intelligence to help you prepare. Each race page includes a free 16-week training plan custom-built for the course elevation, downloadable GPX files, interactive elevation profiles with gradient zones and surface breakdowns, aid-station cut-offs, and estimated split times at different paces.
Every mapped race links to free GPX downloads for each distance, plus a planner preview and a 3D flyover — no signup required. Open a race, pick a distance, then download the track or send it to your watch.
Every race distance has a dedicated 16-week training plan with three tiers — Just Finish, Strong Finish, and Race It — so you can match the plan to your experience level. Plans are time-based (not pace-based), include weekly vert targets that build toward race-day demands, and deep-link into the route planner to find matching local terrain for key workouts.
If you're new to trail running, start with a shorter distance (16–31 km). Look at the vertical gain, not just the distance: a 31 km race with 2,000 m of climbing is significantly harder than a flat road marathon. Use the filter chips above to narrow by distance (under 30 km, 30–60 km, marathon, 100 km+) or to steep races (50 m of climb per km or more).
Most European trail races take place between June and October, once snow has melted from the high passes. Early-season races (June) may still encounter snow above 2,500 m in the Alps, while late-season events (September–October) offer cooler temperatures and stunning autumn colours. Check each race page for the exact date and course conditions.
Yes — race pages, GPX downloads, elevation profiles, aid-station cut-offs, pacing tools and the 16-week training plans are all free and need no account.
