ForestRace unites mapped trails, live race timing and community training under one light platform built by Kunming Forestrace Network Technology Co., Ltd. from its Guangfu Road home in Kunming, China. Every route, checkpoint and elevation climb comes alive so organizers can plan and runners can push toward the finish line with confidence.
We believe a great trail race begins long before the starting horn. It starts with a route that feels honest, a field that registers without friction and a support network that waits at the right place at the right time. Our platform ties those pieces together so a race director can stop worrying about spreadsheets and start thinking about the ridge, the river crossing and the last climb before the arch. For runners, the same tools turn a race weekend into a shared story written mile by mile. For volunteers, a clear roster means showing up knowing exactly where to stand and what to carry, which is the quiet backbone of any dependable event.
Five core services keep a trail event moving from registration to the finish arch. Each station below is a complete tool the ForestRace platform offers to organizers, clubs and runners, and together they cover the full arc of a race season. An organizer can map a course in winter, open registration in early spring, brief volunteers the week before and watch the live tracker breathe on race morning without ever switching between five disconnected programs.
Turn a faint footpath into a shareable course. The platform lets organizers trace routes over detailed terrain, snap them to real tracks and publish an official GPX with waypoint markers. Runners see the same course as the race director, so nobody faces a surprise shortcut or a missed junction on race day. Course updates broadcast instantly to every enrolled device, which matters when heavy rain reroutes the river bank the morning of the event and there is no time to print new sheets.
Fundraising, age-group categories, waitlists and payment all live in one clean flow. Entrants build a starter list in minutes, receive automated confirmations and edit their own details up to a set cutoff. Organizers export a tidy bib roll with proven numbers and category splits for every distance on the card. Because the field data feeds directly into timing and results, the number pinned to a shirt in the morning is the same number printed next to the finish time in the evening.
Follow the field in real time from a shared web map where each checkpoint pin lights up as runners pass. Live split times reach friends, family and support crews instantly, while a tracker uptime of ninety-nine percent keeps the race honest from start line to last finisher. When a runner drops in the deep woods, the gap on the map tells a crew exactly where to look, turning a worried wait into a calm, coordinated response.
Climb graphs, grade bands and leg-by-leg difficulty ratings let runners prepare honestly. The analytics pane breaks a course into colour-coded slope segments, predicts aid-station pacing and flags the steep haul so a pacing plan can be built before the alarm clock rings on race morning. Coaches and club captains read the same numbers to design training runs against the true profile rather than an estimate drawn from guesswork.
Assign cup lines, marshals and sweeps to named stations on a shared roster sheet. Volunteers receive shift reminders, station captains see who is on duty, and the aid table stays stocked. A smooth support area can lift every runner through the low miles and set the tone for the finish. When everyone knows the plan in advance, the volunteers are confident, the water is cold and the encouragement arrives exactly when a tired runner needs it most.
A well-marked trail turns a hard day into a great one. We build the maps, the timing and the support systems that let every runner find the way home, one blaze at a time. Whatever the distance, whatever the weather, we want the arch in sight, the clock running and a story worth telling afterwards. From the frost of a winter scouting trip to the dust of a summer finish, the celebration belongs to the whole field and the volunteers behind it.
Whether you run a single club meet or a multi-region championship, the ForestRace team can shape the right tools for your trail event. Share the length of the course, the shape of your field and the date on the calendar, and we will map a plan together at no charge. From the first trace to the final result sheet, we stay beside you on the course.
