Trailseek - Travel Running Route Finder

Trailseek - Travel Running Route Finder

Find safe, scenic running routes wherever you travel.

Travelers who run struggle to find safe, scenic routes in unfamiliar cities. Existing apps skew toward hiking, social, or training and don't account for lighting, traffic, or neighborhood safety for someone running alone in a strange place.
