Question for technology minded runners

[indiepanda]

Hello - I am trying to do something that I am not sure if is actually possible.

The issue I have is I am training for a 10km with friends and we don't all run at the same pace. We're getting a bit bored with doing laps of Peckham Rye, but if I plan a different route I need everyone to be able to remember it - which I suspect is going to go badly wrong.

Does anyone know of software / apps that enable me to plan a route at home on my laptop, save it and then share with friends via an app on their smart phone which then will give them directions when I have got left a bit behind and can't shout which way to turn?

I've tried creating a route on runkeeper but can't even find it on my phone so I must be doing something wrong!

Thanks red devil. I've done what they suggest for creating the route and it's still there if I log out and back in on the website (i.e the issue isn't that I haven't saved it).

However, when I open the app on my phone, the routes button just takes me to a page that tells me I can create and save routes on runkeeper.com, and though there's what looks like a link which should take me to the website, it doesn't work. Very frustrating!

I'm not sure what the problem could be indie, I created a couple of routes on my laptop and they appear on my phone ok when I tap on the 'routes' tab.

Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling Runkeeper on your phone?...

Always worth a shot - thanks for trying.
