Times: your trails' times

Updated on 2026-10-26

For:Musher guide

Times in five blocks: the page, your times, no GPS, leaderboards, registering. Illustration.

A trail's page: where it is, your times, your record

No separate Times page any more: a trail's times live on its page, in Traces › Trails.

Record and last (1); list of outings (2).

  • Where: Traces, Trails tab, then a trail — yours, the ones kennels in your clubs share, public trails, reference trails. The Times menu entry leads to that tab; old Times links lead to the page of the trail they named.
  • What counts: the “Times” block gathers your kennel's outings that start within 2 km of the trail's start, within 5% of its distance, with their measured time; times typed in by hand are marked “typed”.
  • At the top: your record (the smallest time, the older one on a tie) and your last; then the progress chart (fastest at the top), each point tinted by the day's surface and temperature.
  • Each row leads to its outing; an old typed time with no outing stays listed, without a link.
  • Two trails matching one outing: it counts for one only, the one you followed live, otherwise the closest in distance.

Noting a time without GPS

A typed time is written with its outing; the separate “Log a time” is gone.

“Trail (optional)” (1).

  • In “Log an outing” (with traction; “Manual session” from First steps), “Trail (optional)” offers your trails, your clubs' trails and the reference trails (“None” to begin with); the time is noted there as “typed”.
  • It joins your series, never a leaderboard. An outing imported from a GPX file doesn't need it: its timed track makes it count, measured.

Leaderboards, at equal distance

Below your series, a shared or public trail carries its leaderboards, each time scaled to its distance.

The “Leaderboards” block (1).

  • Public: a public or reference trail, between the kennels that turned on “Public leaderboard” in Settings.
  • Club: a trail shared with one of your clubs, between the club's kennels that turned on “Show my times to the club” for THAT club (the club's Trails tab); one setting per club, off to begin with. Club and leaderboard.
  • Only measured times rank, scaled to the distance: 40 minutes over 10.4 km count as 38:28 over 10 km. One line per kennel, its best time, the real distance of its outing written under it; on a tie, the older one comes first.
  • No leaderboard for a private trail, not even for your kennel, nor for a Long trail.
  • Passed on: the kennel's name, the scaled time, the outing's real distance and its date — never the outing, its split times or its track; the speed shown is worked out from the time.

Registering a trail

“+ Trail” (owner), at the top of the Trails tab, offers two ways in.

“Import a GPX” (1), the file (2), “Import” (3).

  • Enter: name, distance (km), elevation gain (optional), discipline (Mid-distance or Long: a distance category, not the sport you practise) and surface (On foot, Dryland, Snow). No track: no map, no outing matches it by its start, only typed times.
  • Import a GPX: file or URL (a visugpx export link, for example), optional name (taken from the file), discipline, surface; distance computed from the track, which becomes the map.
  • Both forms start on “Long” (no leaderboard).
  • From an outing: “Save this trail”, on its page (Traces and recaps). Private until shared with a club or made public, from its page; its pace never leaves the kennel.

On mobile: list, page, leaderboards

The list opens from “Trails and times” (Plan), “My trails” (Journal) or “Chronos” (Manage's search).

A trail's list and page on the phone. Illustration.

  • List: saved trails first, with their outings and record (an outing never makes two lines); with a connection, trails shared in your clubs and your events (with the kennel that made them, or “An event's trail”), then public ones, whose page carries the track, your outings that follow them and leaderboards (none for an event's trail), never another kennel's pace.
  • A saved trail's page: outings, record and progress offline; with a connection, leaderboards (public, one per club) and typed times.
  • “Set it for this club”: when “Show my times to the club” is off, the page says so; this link opens the club's Trails tab, where it is set.
  • “Log an outing” (with traction) attaches the outing to a trail: offline, yours and the reference trails; with a connection, your clubs'. “New trail”: the owner creates one from the list.

Going further

  • The training plan: a staged race (several days) isn't tracked here; its programme (one line per stage, with the rest before it) is declared from the objective, in Plan.
  • Traces and recaps: the Trails tab, saving an outing as a trail, choosing who sees it.
  • Your trails and times: the step by step.
