Marking a Trail as Driven

Logging a run on a trail page.

Every trail page has a Mark as driven button (visible to logged-in users). Click it to log that you’ve done this trail.

What the button asks

A small form pops up with:

  • Date driven — defaults to today; change if you’re logging an older run
  • Rig — which of your rigs you drove. Defaults to your primary; pick a different one from the dropdown if applicable
  • Notes (optional) — anything personal you want to remember about this run. Notes are private to you; they don’t show publicly

Click Save to commit.

What logging a run does

  • Adds the trail to your run history (visible on your wheeler profile if public)
  • Counts toward your “Runs” stat and potentially toward badges
  • Appears in the trail’s “Recent runs” list, attributed to your username
  • If the trail is in a country you haven’t wheeled before, increments your “Countries” stat
  • Links this run to the specific rig you used, building that rig’s history

Editing or deleting a run

From your account → Activity tab, you’ll find every run you’ve logged. Click any one to edit the date, rig, or notes, or to delete it entirely. Deleting a run removes it from your stats and from the trail’s public list.

Logging old runs

You can backfill historical runs — set the date to whenever you actually drove it. Useful if you’re new to the site but have years of wheeling history you want to capture.

Why log runs at all?

Three reasons:

  1. Memory. Five years from now you’ll forget which trails you’ve done. The system remembers.
  2. Credibility. When you rate a trail or write a condition report, having a visible run history makes other wheelers take you more seriously.
  3. Badges and stats. If you care about that kind of thing.
