We are happy to announce a new feature on Trail Care: the ability for trail organizations to collect one time donations that are not tied to any Strava activity. In fact, users do not even need to be registered on Trail Care: they can simply choose the amount they want to donate and press go: it’s fast, frictionless and re-uses the existing account setup of any trail organization so donations end up in the same place.

Trail Care now keeps track of which segments are ridden inside a trail organization so that organizers can view which trails are the most popular over a given time period.

I am super excited to announce that Trail Care will be partnering with our friends at LuvTrails in order to bring more functionality and innovation to both platforms.

I had the opportunity to speak to Martin Fernandez of MORE for the MORE Trail Report podcast. We talked about the history of Trail Care, future plans and some totally unrelated stuff. I really enjoyed speaking with Martin, I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Listen to the podcast here or you can subscribe to MORE trail reports in your podcast player of choice.

We’ve been adding some new features to Trail Care. The donations page has seen some big improvements. Now there is a clear view of your total donations per trail organization. The list and totals can also be filtered by time - so for example, if you wanted to know how much you donated to your favorite trails last year (tax season anyone?) it’s now super easy to determine that.

Thanks for using Trail Care! And as always, happy trails.

The story behind Trail Care is told in true podcast fashion via Strava’s “Athlete’s Unfiltered” podcast. Check it out: Ep02: Rising From the Ashes.
