Two ways to begin

Plan your route—or start running now.

RunLoop supports structured route planning and unplanned GPS tracking in the same app.

Intelligent Route Builder

Enter an address or use GPS, choose distance, loop or out-and-back, search radius, and a broad route style: All Runnable, Trails & Pathways, Neighborhoods, or Roadways. RunLoop searches connected networks and ranks up to five strong options.

Quick Run

Start after a clear three-second countdown without generating a route. Record time, position-based GPS distance, pace, elevation, splits, and map path—even when the phone is mounted instead of moving with your arm. Active and paused sessions can recover when the app is reopened.

Trail Explorer

Discover public paths, hiking routes, greenways, forest roads, parks, battlefields, recreation areas, nature reserves, and national-park areas.

Up to five ranked route choices

Pick the route that fits today.

When enough distinct routes qualify, RunLoop returns ranked, mapped options instead of generic alternates. Best Match, Most Rugged, and Most Scenic are three examples.

Best Match

Strongest overall fit

Balances requested distance, terrain, safety, selected preferences, trail evidence, and route quality.

Most Rugged

More trail. Less pavement.

Prioritizes connected paths, tracks, natural surfaces, and verified off-road evidence while keeping route safeguards intact.

Most Scenic

More green space

Prioritizes parks, waterfront areas, quieter surroundings, green space, and trail coverage among qualified routes.

New in the iPhone release · 1.2.0

Fresh look. More running.

The same drive to get you out the door, with a clearer experience from planning to the finish.

Made for your next mile

A charcoal-and-lime Home screen, bold run metrics, and clearer controls put your next run, route, and workout within reach.

Faster route building

Improved route searches check mapped options in parallel, with animated progress while your route is being built. Compare distance, elevation, and disclosed compromises before you go.

Your run, at a glance

Start a Quick Run, track time, distance and pace, then revisit completed runs in Activity. Set your preferences in an easier-to-browse Profile.

Route availability and build time depend on local map coverage and your connection. Always review access and current conditions before running.

LOCAL RUNNER PROFILE

Personalized defaults that improve every run.

Your detailed fitness profile stays on the device and personalizes route settings and estimates. If you join Community, only the separate profile fields and runs you choose are synced.

OUTDOOR INTELLIGENCE

More trails. More parks. More places to run.

RunLoop combines public geographic sources with route-network analysis and elevation data, then uses that evidence to help construct and rank routes—not just display nearby places.

OpenStreetMap + OverpassPaths, footways, tracks, hiking routes, cycleways, parks, reserves, and access tags.
NPS + USFSOfficial park, forest, recreation, and trail-area data when available and configured.
State + Local GISConfigured trail layers can add greenways, canal paths, river walks, battlefields, parks, and recreation networks.
Native mapsRoute display and live location in RunLoop, with Apple Maps or Google Maps handoff for driving directions.
RunLoop RoutingConnected-network analysis across trails, pathways, neighborhoods, greenways, and runnable roads.
Route safeguardsDistance fit, route diversity, terrain evidence, road exposure, and selected preferences are evaluated before recommendation.

WHY THIS ROUTE?

Know what you are choosing before you start.

Compare the evidence behind each recommendation instead of trusting a mystery line on a map.

Distance MatchSee how closely the completed route geometry matches the mileage you requested.
Trail & Surface EvidenceUnderstand how strongly the route matches rugged, off-road, mixed-surface, or paved preferences.
Road ExposureMajor-road exposure and route safeguards help prevent a bad fallback from becoming a recommendation.
Elevation & Green ScoreCompare climbing, terrain, parks, greener surroundings, and scenic evidence when available.

Most running apps tell you where you ran. RunLoop helps you decide where to run—and still tracks the days you just head out the door.
