Option 1: Upload a GPX
If you already have a.gpx file for the course (from Strava, Coros, Garmin, the race’s official site, or a friend), this is the fastest path.
1
Open the Routes page
Sign in, then go to Routes in the sidebar.
2
Click 'Create Route' → 'Upload GPX'
Pick the
.gpx file from your computer, or drag it onto the page.3
Wait a moment
Distance, elevation, and the route line are extracted automatically.
4
Name it
By default the route name comes from inside the GPX file. You can rename it later.
Option 2: Draw a custom route
If no GPX exists — your local long-run loop, a planned reconnaissance route, or a brand-new race course — draw it.1
Click 'Create Route' → 'Draw Route'
The map opens centered on a default location. Drag and zoom to where you want to start.
2
Click to drop waypoints
Each click adds a waypoint. The line between waypoints snaps to trails and roads.
3
Save
Give the route a name. It lands in your library, ready to plan around.
Option 3: Import a shared route
If a friend or race organizer has already built the route, they can share a link.1
Get the share link
Either pasted directly to you, or scanned from a QR code on race materials.
2
Click 'Import' on the Routes page
Paste the link, click Import. The route appears in your library.
