Create a Route from the Website

Do you want to plot a custom route by adding or removing points? Follow these steps to quickly and efficiently create your route.

Access the Route Editor

• Open the route editor on OpenRunner.
• Click “Create” to start plotting from a blank map.

Select the Path Tracking Mode

The path tracking mode determines how your route is drawn based on your chosen activity:

• Hiking / Running / Trail Running: Roads, cycle paths and greenways, forest tracks, farm tracks, fire roads (DFCI), trails.
• Road Biking: Roads, cycle paths and greenways.
• Gravel Biking / Bike Touring: Roads, cycle paths and greenways, forest tracks, farm tracks, fire roads (DFCI), certain trails.
• Car: Roads and certain tracks only.
• None: Straight-line plotting between points.

For MTB routes, use the “Hiking” mode, which includes all trails. Always check route feasibility before finalizing.

Add the First Point to Your Route

• Start point: Click on the map where you want your route to begin. This point will be marked as “S” (Start).
• End point: Click where you want your route to finish. This point will be marked as “F” (Finish).
• Plot the route: OpenRunner will automatically calculate the route according to the selected path tracking mode.
• Add points: Continue clicking on the map to extend your route.
