Madison Running Routes

If you would like to map your own routes MapMyRun.com and Strava are two great options.

MapMyRun.com allows you to create a user account, save routes, search for routes, and log your workouts--the best part being that you can do all of that for free.

If you want to create routes on Strava, you will have to be premium member. However, the Heat Maps feature is free so you can see what the most commonly used roads and paths are. Perfect for when you might be traveling new ground!
