Not really.  Trying to co-opt English words that have other meanings 
doesn't really help.

You mentioned "http://www.trail-blaze.com/race-finder.asp?clear=1" 
earlier; that calls the things that I think that you're talking about 
"trails".   Most of the entries exist on the UK long-distance path page 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Long_Distance_Paths 
already, which calls them "routes" and "paths" as well as "trails", so 
that's three English words to choose from.

Are you trying to describe something other than just the route on the 
ground?  In the case of the Pennine Way (on the UK LDP page above), the 
route is run by Natural England (a quango that's funded by the 
government).  They appear to have no connection with trail-blaze.com 
which just looks like a commercial website trying to make a bit of cash 
on the back of someone else's taxes - maybe 
"stamping_point:organisation" would work?

Reading http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orsz%C3%A1gos_K%C3%A9kt%C3%BAra , 
however, it just sounds like "trail" would be better.

Cheers,
Andy
