Trail and adventure

Trail runs and adventure races

Support controls, route choices, crews, followers, safety awareness, and live changes when conditions shift.

Trail and adventure events often need field decisions. MapCatch keeps the course, participant positions, organiser updates, and public live view in one place.

What matters

Designed around this event format

Route choices

Represent mandatory sections, optional variants, and terrain-driven route updates.

Crew and follower context

Give support crews and spectators a public event view for progress, gaps, and expected arrivals.

Field updates

Send event messages and adjust live course context when weather, closures, or controls change.

Why MapCatch

Why MapCatch is different here

Because participants already have the MapCatch app in the field, organisers can change the live course when weather, closures, or course decisions make the original line wrong.

Adventure races can mix fixed sections, optional route choices, crew-visible context, and organiser messages without splitting the experience between a navigation app and a tracking map.

Safety awareness becomes part of the event workflow: stale updates, off-course context, and battery signals can inform organiser decisions while still staying clear that MapCatch is not emergency dispatch.
