Build your own running route with the route planner

Where are you running today? The route planner answers that question in a few clicks. Pick a starting point — search by city or street, use your current location, or simply click the map — and decide how your route comes together.

Two ways: draw it yourself or generate it

After choosing your starting point you have two options. Draw it yourself: click point by point and the planner snaps the route to paths and streets, with undo and redo when you want a turn back. Or enter a distance and choose generate routes: RunCulture then suggests several loops matching that distance, and you browse through the proposals until one feels right. Almost perfect but not quite? Every suggestion can still be edited by hand afterwards.

Know what you're in for

Every route gets kilometre markers on the map and a legend showing where you'll be running: the percentage of path, street, unpaved and green, whether you pass water, and how many metres of elevation the loop contains. At the bottom you'll see the distance and an estimated running time.

Take it with you

Done? Download your route as a GPX file for your watch, or save it — no account needed: the route is linked to your email address and can be claimed to your account later. Saved routes get their own share page with a permanent link, so your running group can simply click along.
