Frequently Asked Questions
How does Pay Upfront work?
CapitalTrails Pay Upfront plan is simple - you pay upfront for the whole year's Monthly Outdoor Meets, and you get a ~17% discount on the price. Effectively, you get access to 12 for the price of 10 events.
Are there any other benefits?
No. There's no other benefit that can be clubbed with the Pay Upfront plan. We may offer one-off discounts on 'By CapitalTrails' race registrations, merch etc. but those will be available to everyone.
How do you ensure safety on trails?
The trails are generally safe. We have systems in place that will ensure your safety at all times.
We appoint marshalls for all variants for our activities to ensure that the group is in sight. Further, we strictly ensure that none of our women members are left alone or out of sight on the trail. We also conduct a pre-activity briefing where we go over all wayfinding, security and emergency protocols.
We're trying to make trails safer and more inclusive and accessible to everyone, and we take this mission extremely seriously.
What if I get hurt or injured?
Our members are equipped and certified in administering Wilderness First Aid (WFA) and are always ready with evacuation protocols and procedures in case of any wilderness emergency. Further, detailed instructions are sent to members before any event with information on safety, emergency response and available medical facilities.
What if I get lost while out with you?
We run everyone through app-based and self-oriented navigation procedures before each activity (run, race, collaboration etc.). At the same time, anyone who has got lost on the trails with us has emerged an enriched human :)
What if I'm not fit to complete the activity?
We are inclusive to walkers, hikers and other non-running folks, and want them to experience the NCR outdoors! There's no such thing as 'not fit enough' - if you can walk continuously for 30 minutes, you can complete the Walk category.
Can I stay on as a non-paying member?
While we don't have a 'free' membership tier, you are always welcome to join our community and be involved in community initiatives. All you need to do for that is just sign up on this website, which will give you access to the CapitalTrails Community on WhatsApp. You will also get a Welcome coupon, which you can redeem towards any one Monthly Outdoor Meet activity. Further, as part of the community, you can engage with other community members over discussions, events, training plans, race strategies, outdoor education and much more.
Also, Did You Know?
Pay Upfront also helps us streamline and plan our annual contributions more efficiently. By paying upfront, you're contributing to the vision, mission and purpose of CapitalTrails.
