How We Reach Real Outdoor Athletes
We filter out accidental clicks and bots so your brand only reaches active runners, cyclists, and hikers who are creating routes.
All Website Visitors
People visit TrailShorts to explore, check shared routes, or test features. Casual visitors browse freely without seeing partner ads.
Active Athletes Uploading Routes
Ads only appear after someone uploads a real GPS file (.gpx, .fit) or connects a Strava, Garmin, Apple Watch, or Wahoo activity.
Engaged and Focused Attention
Users spend 1 to 2 minutes actively watching the 3D map, tweaking angles, and previewing their route—giving your brand full visual attention.
Ready to Buy Gear & Plan Trips
These users are celebrating completed races, training milestones, or planning their next adventure. They are ready to invest in bikes, shoes, apparel, and travel.
Real Athletes Ready to Invest in Quality Gear
TrailShorts puts your brand in front of dedicated athletes right as they celebrate their routes. Because ads only show when a real activity is loaded, you get 0% bot or accidental views—reaching passionate outdoor athletes who spend $1,500+ every year on sports gear.

Our Advertising Principles
We believe ads should respect our athletes' experience while delivering genuine, high-intent attention for your brand.
Zero Landing-Page Ads
We never show ads when someone first lands on our site. Keeping the initial visit distraction-free stops visitors from bouncing away and keeps retention high.
Triggered Only by Real Actions
Ads only show after an athlete takes an active step—like uploading a GPX track or generating a flyover. You reach people when they are actively paying attention.
Non-Intrusive Placements
No annoying popups, screen blockers, or deceptive spots that trigger accidental clicks. Your message is shown in dedicated, natural spaces without getting in the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about pricing, placements, and timings.
The price is completely flexible and can be decided in conversation with me via email. Because our advertising feature is in its early stage, advertisers are warmly welcome to suggest their own price and budget. Once we have our first few advertisers and evaluate how the exposure benefits them, we will establish standard pricing for future advertisers. Early partners lock in exceptionally low introductory rates.
