RouteSpinner: free running route planner and loop generator
RouteSpinner finds circular running routes of any length, automatically. Pick a starting point, choose a distance from 0.5 km to 40 km, and it returns several loops that start and finish where you are. Free, no signup, no ads.
Features
- Circular routes, automatically: several route options per search, each returning to your start point.
- Any distance: from a short 2 km jog to a 10k, half marathon or long training run.
- Elevation profiles: see the climb, descent and hills on each route before you go.
- GPX export: download any route for Garmin, Coros, Suunto, Strava, Komoot and other watches and apps.
- Nicer routes: prefer parks, rivers and quiet streets, or avoid busy shopping and commercial areas.
- Route notes: surface, lighting, footpaths, and nearby water fountains, toilets, viewpoints and train stations.
- Shareable links: send a route to a friend or running club with one link.
How it works
- Set your starting point on the map, or let RouteSpinner use your location.
- Choose your target distance and, optionally, road types and maximum number of turns.
- Press Find Routes. RouteSpinner searches the OpenStreetMap street and path network for loops that match.
- Compare the routes, check the elevation, then export a GPX file or share a link.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find a running route near me?
Set your starting point on the map (or allow location access), choose a distance and press Find Routes. RouteSpinner returns several circular routes that start and finish at that point.
Is RouteSpinner free?
Yes. RouteSpinner is free to use, with no signup and no ads.
What distances can RouteSpinner plan?
Any target distance from 0.5 km up to 40 km, so it works for anything from a short loop to a marathon training run. Longer routes are experimental.
Can I use the routes on my Garmin or other running watch?
Yes. Any route can be downloaded as a GPX file, which can be imported into Garmin Connect, Strava, Coros, Suunto, Komoot and most other GPS watches and fitness apps.
Where does RouteSpinner work?
Anywhere in the world covered by OpenStreetMap. Results are best where streets and paths are well mapped.
Can I plan cycling routes too?
Yes. RouteSpinner is designed for running, but the circular routes and GPX export work for cycling and walking as well.
