TL;DR

Discovery OFFs are auto-created from Strava activities. Auto-published after 2nd attempt. Retroactive scoring. First Blood opportunities.

Trail running that maps itself

You run a trail. You go home. Next day, OFFRUN suggests a new course based on your run. That's a Discovery OFF.

How it works

When you connect Strava, OFFRUN receives a signal for every trail activity. The system then:

  1. Looks for a match: does your track match an existing OFF within 20 km? If yes, an attempt is automatically created.
  2. Creates a Discovery OFF: if no match, the system generates a course from your track. This OFF is initially invisible β€” not published.
