Upload a GPX route
Add your club's routes by uploading their GPX files. They go on the club page straight away.
You need the Editor or Owner role.
- Open Routes.
- Click Upload GPX and choose one or more files. You can also drop GPX files anywhere on the page, or use New and then Upload GPX files.
- Each file shows in a list as it uploads, with its code (or its name, if it has no code) and distance.
From your phone
In the Club Routes app, you can share a GPX file from another app, such as COROS, Garmin, Strava or Files.
- Choose Club Routes in your phone's share options.
- Check the route's outline and distance.
- Under You help run, choose Add to your club's routes.
If a route with the same code is already in your library, the app asks whether to add this one as well. To swap the file on an existing route, use the portal instead (see below).
Routes from other apps
Club Routes doesn't link to other route apps. To bring in a route from OS Maps, Strava, Komoot or similar, export or download it from that app as a GPX file, then upload it here. Or draw it again with Plot a route on the map.
What files work
- Only
.gpxfiles, up to 5 MB each. - The file needs track points, route points or waypoints. If it's not a proper GPX file, you'll see the reason next to its name.
Route codes
Club Routes picks up a code from the start of the file name, like W05L.gpx, or from brackets in the route's name, like "Winter Run 5 (W05)". Codes are one to three letters, then a number, with an L for the long option. Leading zeros are dropped, so W05 becomes W5.
The route's name comes from the GPX file. If the file has no name, the file name is used.
If the code is already in your library, you can choose Replace W5, Add as a separate route or Skip.
Put a new file on an existing route
- Click the route's card.
- Click New GPX file and choose the file.
The old file is kept. Click Earlier versions to see them, and Bring back to make an older one the newest version again.
If your club reaches its route limit, you'll see a message asking you to contact Club Routes.
