Can you complete every trail in Boulder? Boulder Trail Challenge is a curated list of every trail in Boulder, packaged as one big goal: hike, run, or walk them all. Instead of scrolling a generic mapping app full of every route, you get the handpicked list of trails that locals actually use with distance and elevation gain. The concept is simple but the effect is real - Trail Challenge gives you a reason to step off your usual loop, find a route you didn't know existed in your own neighborhood, and slowly build a personal map of Boulder one trail at a time. There's no background tracking and no automatic detection; when you finish a trail, you tap to check it off – your map fills in, your stats climb, and the "Remaining" filter is ready with your next adventure. You decide what counts. One trail a week, four in a long weekend – any cadence is valid and you can go at your own pace. - Every notable Boulder trail on one interactive map - Distance and elevation gain for every route - One-tap check-offs, with progress and stats saved on your device - Your live location on the trail, so you always know where you are - No account, no sign-up, no tracking There's no enrollment window, no deadline, and no clock that starts when you download the app. Tick off your first trail this weekend or take the year to finish them all.

Run more. Play more. SoGnar Stride turns every mile into a game... but there's a catch: you can't play unless you move. Every run, hike, and walk you log earns coins. Spend those coins in the arcade, play games, and hunt for stoke points. The more stoke you stack, the higher you climb the leaderboard. The competition isn't on the trail... it's in the play. But the only way to play is to lace up and go. SoGnar Stride is a subscription app. Every feature below requires a paid subscription after your free trial ends — $1.99/month or $19.99/year. Full terms at the bottom of this description. Move to earn, play to win - Log your runs, hikes, and walks to earn coins. Take those coins into the arcade, play games, and search for stoke points. Rack up enough and rise up the leaderboard. No shortcuts. If you want to play, you've got to move. Discover paths near you - Find new routes right where you are. Search nearby paths for your next run, hike, or walk, and explore fresh ground every time you head out. Relive it in 3D - Watch an interactive 3D replay of your route—retrace every step, climb, and turn and see your run, hike, or walk come to life. Build your own crews - Create as many crews as you want. Open crews anyone can join, or private crews for your inner circle. Share your workouts with the crews you choose, or keep them to yourself. Want to see what your crew is putting in? Opt in. Prefer to keep your head down? Opt out. You're always in control of what you share and what you see. Register your shoes - Log every pair in your rotation and assign shoes to each recording. Track the miles you put on them and learn what you love (and what you don't), one run at a time. Add your notes - Leave notes on any recorded path (trail conditions, how you felt, what to remember for next time), so every route tells a story. Stay stoked - Coins, stoke points, arcade games, and a leaderboard that only rewards the people who show up. SoGnar Stride keeps you coming back... mile after mile, game after game. Run more. Play more. Get stoked on every mile. Download SoGnar Stride... the only way to play is to move. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED SoGnar Stride requires an auto-renewing subscription to use.
