USA Track & Field Route Database
This is incredible. Runners can go to www.usatf.org and, using google’s incredible mapping technology, map out any route and get the mileage AND elevation (total climbed and the total elevation change). This tool is especially useful for trail running, for you can use Google’s satellite view and draw your route along the trail (street addresses are not necessary). You’re given the option of saving and naming your routes, as well as adding attributes and a route description. You can even add your water stops! You can also do a search for routes already calcualted. There are 118 routes already mapped out in Palo Alto!
