Before you can build a plan, you need a route. A route is the line on the map — the actual course you’ll run on race day. You have three ways to add one.

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.

Next: build a plan

Once a route is in your library, you can build your first plan around it.
