What runners see
The things runners ask about a course — how steep, where the water is, where to turn — are on the map itself.
The elevation chart, projected onto the map
The profile stands up along the course line, so each climb shows where it happens. We know of no other mapping platform that does this.
A chart linked to the map
Move along the elevation chart and the map follows. Your aid stations show as marks on it.
Points of interest
Aid stations, water, parking, medical and crew access, with their names on the map if you want them. About points of interest
Course cues NEW
Directions and warnings on the course line — "cross here", "turnaround". Runners tap one to read it. About course cues
Set it once
Edit once, every embed updates
The code on your site never changes. When next year's edition is made, the embed moves to it.
One map for every distance
Embed the whole event, and runners switch between the 10K, the half and the full from a menu.
You pay for runners, not page views
The map loads only when someone clicks it. Lock it to your own site, and see loads and visitors on your dashboard. How usage works

Good to know
Do I need a plan to try it?
No. Building and previewing a map is free. You need a Pro plan to put it on your own website.
What is a map load?
One time a visitor opens your map. Pro Starter includes 500 a month, then $0.01 each. Pro Premium includes 5,000, then $0.007 each.
Can someone copy my map to their own site?
Not if you restrict it. Add your website's address and the map loads only there.
Can I share it without a website?
Yes. The embed link also opens as a full-screen map page you can share anywhere.
Who uses it?
Swiss Alps 100, KH Races, Run Woodstock, Harrisonburg Half Marathon and Wilmington NC Marathon, among others.
