About · Greatness On All Trails

Built by a trail runner,
for trail runners

TrailGoat isn't a startup with a growth team. It's one ultrarunner's toolkit that got good enough to share — made between long runs, tested on real races, and free for every runner who wants it.

The story

Hi — I'm Kris. I run ultras. And like every ultrarunner, I used to plan races the hard way: a GPX file in one tab, a fueling spreadsheet in another, a pace chart scribbled on the back of the race brochure, and a 5 a.m. gut feeling about whether any of it added up.

TrailGoat started as the tool I wished existed the night before a 50K — one place where the course's real climbs, the fueling math, and the pacing actually talk to each other. I built it for myself first. Every feature on this site has been dragged up a climb, argued with mid-taper, and fixed after it let me down on a long run.

The goat? Greatness On All Trails. Also, goats are the only athletes that make uphill running look reasonable.

What TrailGoat is
Run Planner Load a course, get grade-adjusted pacing, climbs, and an hour-by-hour hydration & fueling plan built from the route's real profile. Course Creator Draw or import a route, snap it to trails, and save it to your library — or plan straight from the race catalog's real GPX files. Training Plans Capra — the resident mountain-goat coach — writes a week-by-week plan around your race's distance and vert, your terrain, and the week you actually have. Race catalog Hundreds of real ultra courses with elevation profiles, ready to plan — found, cleaned, and kept up to date every week.
The deal

TrailGoat is free while in beta. No ads, no selling your data, no dark patterns — the honest details live on the privacy page, including a button that deletes your account and everything in it.

If TrailGoat helps you get to a start line better prepared, the best things you can do are tell a running buddy, and tell me what's broken or missing. This site gets better the same way training does: one honest rep at a time.
