America's Running Routes hits 100,000 routes
America's Running Routes, the largest searchable database of running routes
in the United States, already boasts more than 100,000 unique routes after just
over one year in existence.
Introduced at the 2005 USA Track & Field (USATF) Annual Meeting,
America's Running Routes uses cutting edge technology provided by Google Maps. A
revolutionary service developed by USATF, America's Running Routes, allows
runners to map and measure their favorite running routes and then save them to a
searchable database of running routes.
America's Running Routes provides the running community with an array of
functionality and shows USATF's continued commitment to offer runners of all
ages and abilities information and services to enhance each running experience.
Ever wonder how far your run was? Just visit America's Running Routes, map
out your run using satellite views, and the distance will be displayed,
including mile markers along the route. Think others might enjoy your running
route? Click the "save" button, and your route will be added to the
database for others to enjoy.
America's Running Routes allows runners to search for routes in a particular
city or to narrow their search to find running routes from hotels, parks,
schools, trail heads, or running stores. Business travelers and vacationers can
now find running routes near their hotel or other destination.
