The roadmap · Fall 2026

Where the trail goes from here.

Trailmark started as one runner's crew page for a hundred miles in the desert. Today it's a web app any runner can set up for race day. Next it grows into real iPhone and Android apps, and after that, a home for the whole race: runners, crews, fans and the people who put races on.

The big picture

Four aid stations to the finish.

The same idea the whole way: everyone who cares about a runner on race day should know where they are, without making the crew's job harder.

    • Dozens of looks, plus finish cards made for Instagram stories
