About TrailRouter

Trail Router is a route planner for runners. It is designed to help users find new running routes. Its routing favours paths through parks, forests, or alongside water, and it avoids busy roads where possible. Users can have the site plot a round-trip route of a chosen distance, or build a point-to-point route by hand that favours nature.

Users can also state whether they prefer routes that involve nature, well-lit streets, or fewer hills. The site links to Android and iPhone apps, and the directory lists a web version. Corrections to mapping data can take a couple of weeks to take effect after an issue is reported.
