Name your start points
Club Routes groups routes that begin within 300 m of each other into start points. Members see them under Where we start on the Routes tab. You need the Editor or Owner role to change them.
Name a start
- Open Routes and click Start points. Each place shows its routes, and Not named yet if nobody has named it.
- Click Name it (or Edit for one that's named).
- Type the Name members know it by, such as a car park or a building.
- Add a Getting there note if it helps, such as where to park and where to meet. Members see it.
- Click Save the name, then Add photos if you like: up to 4, such as the car park or the meeting spot. Avoid people's faces and car number plates, as anyone who can see the club page sees them.
- Click Save.
Until you name a start, it takes a name from your usual meeting place, the calendar or its routes' names.
Where the name shows
When a run's route begins away from your usual start (the place most of your routes start from), members see this name as where the run starts: on Next run, the printed sheet, run-day reminders, home screen widgets, your club website and members' connected calendars. So it's worth naming every start you use.
Start again
Open the start and click Forget this name, note and photos, then click again to confirm. It goes back to being named from its routes.
See Add a run date.
