From the Website



Option #1


Via our partner Finishers, making sure the date, distance, and elevation of your race are correct. If you're not 100% confident in the information, go with Option #2.

Go to the “Objectives” tab

Click the “Set a goal” button

Click “Set your main goal”

Select the “Trail” tab

Choose “Find your next race with Finishers”

Search for your race using the filters or the search bar

Option #2


Enter your goal manually, including the distance, elevation, and race date.

Go to the “Objectives” tab

Click the “Set a goal” button

Click “Set your main goal”

Select the “Trail” tab

Choose the “Trail - premium” tab and fill in the race-specific information

Select and/or update the climb duration near your location

From the Mobile App



Option #1


Via our partner Finishers, making sure the date, distance, and elevation of your race are accurate. If you’re unsure, go with Option #2.

Tap the “Objectives” tab in the bottom left of your screen

Tap the orange “+” button

Tap “Set your main goal”

Select the “Trail” tab

Choose “Find your next race with Finishers”

Search for your race using filters or the search bar

Option #2


Enter your goal manually, including the distance, elevation, and race date.

Go to the “Objectives” tab

Tap the orange “+” button

Tap “Set your main goal”

Select the “Trail” tab

Choose the “Trail - premium” tab and fill in your race details

You’ll then be able to indicate whether you’re coming back from a break in training, so we can include a gentle restart phase at the beginning of your plan—depending on the number of weeks between setting your goal and the race date.
