Questions

How do I measure how far I ran?

Find your start on the map, then tap along the way you went, adding a point at every corner and bend. The distance updates as you go. Choose “Loop to start” if you finished where you began, or “Out and back” if you turned round and came back the same way.

How accurate is the distance?

As accurate as your taps. Each leg is a straight line between two points, so a curvy path needs more points.

Is my route saved or shared?

No. The route stays in your browser and is gone when you close the page. The map pictures come from OpenStreetMap, so your browser asks them for the area you’re looking at, as with any online map. “Go to my location” only moves the map; your position isn’t sent to us.

How do I plan a 5K loop?

Start at your door, tap out roughly half the distance away from home, then curve back on different streets with “Loop to start” on. Adjust points until the distance reads 5 km (3.1 miles).

Can it follow roads automatically?

Not on this page. The RunPack app does: tell it how far you want to go and it suggests three loops from where you are along real streets and paths, then buzzes if you go off the route while you run.

Tips for choosing where to run are in how to plan a running route. Turn the distance into a goal time with the pace calculator.
