Overview
Top Trail is a community of equestrians who like to track their miles, stay motivated through group challenges, and encourage other equestrians to keep on riding.

How It Works
If your organization is ready to signup and partner with Top Trail the first step is to fill out the Affiliate Signup Form linked below.
After you signup, we will schedule a kick-off call to discuss your organizational needs, determine the challenges you want to run, reporting needs, etc.
Next, we will build out the setup needed on the website for your organization. This process will take a few weeks to do, so please keep this in mind if there are any organizational deadlines in play.
After we have added your organizational information and setup to the website, we will provide you with a draft email that you can send out to all of your members about our partnership, how to signup, and answers to frequently asked questions.
Your members can click the link in the email to signup and create their account on Top Trail. They will automatically be affiliated with your organization on the website, leaderboards, and reporting.
Riders need to track their rides and upload them via the Top Trail website or via the EasyTrails app (third-party app, optional). As they upload rides, the leaderboards and reporting will automatically update in real-time so riders can see how they’re doing in your organization’s challenges compared to other members.
Based on agreed upon reporting needs, Top Trail will provide your organization with audited reports to ensure all rides reported by members meet the rules of the challenge. Your organization can then announce results, giveaway prizes and awards, or any other recognitions you would like to do for your members.
