How Far Did I Run? — Route Distance Map

How to measure how far you ran

1. Zoom the map to where you ran — search for your start point if that's faster.
2. Click along the path you took, one point per turn or straight stretch. The route is a point-to-point line, so more points on curvy streets means a more accurate total.
3. Made a wrong click? Undo point removes the last one, and you can drag any point to nudge the route onto the correct street.
4. Enter your time (for example 45:30 for 45 minutes 30 seconds) to see your pace per mile or per kilometer.

Pace and finish-time reference

Finish times for common distances at three everyday paces:

Map distance vs. GPS watch distance

A fitness watch samples GPS continuously and follows every wiggle of the trail, so its reading is usually a percent or two longer than a hand-traced map route — and tracing tightly around hairpin turns is hard at street zoom. If the two numbers differ by more than a few percent, you probably dropped few points on curved sections: zoom in and add points along the bends. Both approaches are estimates; even two runners' watches on the same run rarely agree perfectly.

How calories are estimated

The estimate uses a simple energy model — body weight multiplied by distance, with a higher factor for running than walking. It ignores hills, wind, fitness level and terrain, so treat the number as an order-of-magnitude guide rather than a measurement. Heart-rate-based estimates from a watch will always beat distance-based ones.
