About RaceRoutes

Detailed course maps and elevation data for UK running races.

What is RaceRoutes?

RaceRoutes.uk is a free resource built to solve a problem every runner knows — you've signed up for a race, but finding a clear, accurate course map with a proper elevation profile is surprisingly hard.

Race websites often show a rough sketch, a blurry image, or nothing at all. We trace every route from the ground up, verify the elevation data, and present it in a clean, consistent format so you know exactly what you're signing up for.

What you get

• Interactive course maps — zoom in on every turn, see where the hills hit and where the fast sections are
• Accurate elevation profiles — GPS-verified charts so you can pace your effort and plan your race strategy
• Difficulty grading — from very flat to very hilly, independently assessed for every course
• Mobile ready — pull up any course on your phone at the start line, no app needed

Growing all the time

RaceRoutes.uk is new and expanding rapidly. We're adding courses across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — from local club 5ks to half marathons and marathons. If your race isn't listed yet, get in touch and we'll get it mapped.
