How does the No Last Run gravity league work?
The No Last Run gravity league is a season-long race against the clock on specific trails. Every trail has its own leaderboard with today, weekend and season views. Your best verified time on a trail is the one that counts, and the top three times make the podium. Season 01 runs in 2026. Taking part is free: all you need is the app on iPhone or Android and an account.
Season and rider tag
The league runs in seasons. This is Season 01, 2026, and the league starts in Poland. Your league profile is your rider tag. It grows with every run: you earn XP for completed runs, broken records, top 10 finishes and challenges, and XP unlocks ranks from Rookie to Legend, along with personal bests and achievements.
Trail leaderboards
Every trail has its own board with three views: today, weekend and season. Your best verified time on that trail is what counts, and positions update after every verified run. You also see how far you are behind the rider right above you.
The podium
The top three times on a trail make its podium: gold, silver and bronze. Everyone below sees how many places they are from the podium. Each trail has its own podium, so you can fight for a spot on several trails at once.
Ranked runs and practice
Before each run you choose a mode. A ranked run can go on the board. Practice saves your time and track but never goes on the board, which makes it good for learning a trail.
A ranked run needs “Always” location permission, because the phone records in your pocket with the screen off. Start and finish are detected automatically, so you never touch the phone while riding.
Run verification
Only verified runs reach the board. The rules match the help screen in the app:
- Start from the gate. The timer starts when you cross the start line heading downhill.
- Stay on the trail. The run has to follow the trail’s line, no shortcuts.
- Pass the checkpoints. There are checkpoints along the way and you have to ride through them.
- Finish at the finish gate. On a ranked run you don’t stop by hand; the timer stops on the finish line.
- Keep a strong GPS signal. With a signal that is too weak the run fails verification.
The app also looks for the impossible in the data: position jumps of hundreds of metres, speeds no bike reaches, riding the wrong way. Then the server, independently of the phone, works out the start and finish crossings from the recorded GPS points. The result screen shows the run’s status and, if it failed, why.

Pioneers and new trails
A new trail starts with just a name. The first rider to ride it becomes its Pioneer: that run saves the start, finish and line for everyone. The Pioneer sets the first line and everyone else chases that time.
The trail then moves through statuses. “New trail” has a recorded line and accepts ranked runs that help confirm it. “League open” means results go on the board while the trail is still collecting confirmations. “Confirmed” means several runs showed that the line and gates make sense.

Challenges
You can send a friend a challenge with a trail and your time. The link shows your rider tag, the trail name and the time to anyone who gets it.
Fair play
The league only works with real results. The terms ban GPS manipulation, faking runs without riding the trail, multiple accounts and logging someone else’s runs on your account. Breaking them voids results and, in serious cases, leads to a permanent ban. You can report a suspicious result through support.
What the league is not
- It isn’t a race with officials and chip timing. Phone GPS has limits.
- It isn’t a training tracker. What counts are runs on a specific trail from gate to finish, not the kilometres of your whole day.
- It isn’t a reason to take risks. Don’t ride beyond your skills for a better time, wear a helmet and follow the park’s rules.
