About Trail Running Planet
UK trail running routes, races and reviews from people who have actually been there. Free GPX, honest grades, no account needed.
What we do
Trail Running Planet is a curated database of trail running routes — starting in the UK, expanding globally. Every route is verified by a human, graded honestly in both directions (we'll tell you when something is easier than it looks too), and comes with a free GPX download. No account needed, no email gate.
We also publish terrain-specific safety information, kit recommendations, and community condition reports so you can make good decisions before you head out.
How grading works
We use two independent scales: Effort (E1–E5) computed from the GPX, and Terrain (T1–T5) set by our editors. The overall grade is the higher of the two — so a short technical ridge gets the same headline grade as a long easy ultra, but the detail tells you why.
