Kinomap — an interactive training platform for cycling, running, and rowing — has entered into a long-term partnership with the Golden Trail World Series as an official sponsor. Through this collaboration, fans can virtually run the iconic Golden Trail World Series courses from home using high-quality, geo-synchronized videos.
Under this agreement, each Golden Trail World Series race will include a Kinomap-presented course preview during the broadcast pre-show, with extended versions shared across social media channels. Legendary trails from events such as Zegama-Aizkorri and Sierre-Zinal will also be captured and made available on the Kinomap platform.
Users can connect smart treadmills and other compatible fitness equipment to experience routes with accurate elevation, speed, and intensity replication. Activities automatically export to Strava for performance tracking and community engagement.
