Route, distance and elevation calculator for all your sports activities

Plan your outdoor outings, analyze your elevation profiles and estimate your effort time with our free, precise mapping tool that requires no sign-up.

Welcome to Sport Distance Calculator, the go-to platform dedicated to designing, measuring and optimizing your sports and leisure routes anywhere in the world. Whether you're a seasoned athlete in intensive training or a nature lover looking for a Sunday stroll, our interactive interface gives you absolute mapping precision to bring your active-mobility projects to life.

A tailor-made tool suited to every sport

Because every sport has its own physical constraints, speed and terrain requirements, and its own way of reading a topographic profile, our application offers dedicated features and analysis profiles for all of your outdoor activities:

  • Running / Jogging: Ideal for mapping urban running loops, planning interval sessions to the kilometer, precisely measuring your training distances and avoiding surprise false flats on your marathon or half-marathon build-up routes.
  • Hiking / Walking: Designed for lovers of hiking, Nordic walking or trekking. Instantly view marked trails, calculate realistic walking times that account for elevation gain, and plan your family outings or long crossings safely.
  • Cycling / Touring / Gravel: Built for road cyclists, bike touring enthusiasts and gravel riders. Map your road routes using roads suited to your bike, anticipate mountain-pass profiles, assess gradient percentages and optimize your long-distance rides on asphalt or gravel roads.
  • Mountain biking / Trail running: Built for the thrill of technical terrain and mountains. Explore forest trails, singletrack and steep rocky paths. Analyze complex elevation profiles to master the technical and physical intensity of your most demanding outings.
  • Other activities (rollerblading, race walking, cross-country skiing, etc.): For all your soft and alternative outdoor mobility that requires a reliable route calculation, rigorous distance tracking and detailed mapping (OpenStreetMap, IGN Géoportail, etc.).

How does our interactive route calculator work?

Drawing your route has never been so simple and intuitive. In just a few clicks on the map, build your route exactly the way you want:

  • Free or guided creation: Click point by point to draw your custom route, or use the automatic routing feature that instantly follows the roads, cycle paths and trails on record.
  • Detailed elevation analysis: Instantly get the elevation profile of your outing (total ascent and descent, highest points) thanks to our built-in altimeter, and view the gradient percentages kilometer by kilometer.
  • File management and sharing: Import or export your tracks in universal formats (GPX, KML, TCX) to load them directly onto your GPS watch (Garmin, Suunto, Wahoo, etc.) or bike computer, and save your best routes to find them again at any time.

Why plan your training and routes in advance?

A successful outdoor outing relies on good preparation. Knowing the exact total distance, the elevation gain profile and the estimated effort time helps you better manage your hydration, nutrition and energy reserves. Our site also provides valuable additional tools to assess your fitness level (VO₂max, heart rate, BMI, estimated calories burned, or the well-known km-effort score calculation).

ALTITUDE & TOPOGRAPHIE


Analysis resolution (sampling step):
 10m  |  25m  |  50m  |  100m  |  200m  
(An elevation point is queried every X meters along the route, regardless of the number of points in the original track. A smaller step is more precise but triggers a new elevation request to the server.)
Elevation curve smoothing (noise filter):
 None  |  Light (100m)  |  Medium (200m)  |  Strong (400m)  
(A moving average applied to the raw elevation curve to reduce measurement noise, before any elevation-gain calculation. Instant recalculation, with no new request to the server.)
Elevation threshold taken into account:
 No threshold |  Elevation change > 1m |  Elevation change > 2m |  Elevation change > 3m |  Elevation change > 4m |  Elevation change > 5m |  Elevation change > 10m 
(Filters out micro-variations: small fluctuations below this threshold are ignored, while genuine progressive climbs and descents are kept. Instant recalculation with no server request.)

(The km-effort is a unit that adds the distance covered (in km) to the elevation gain (divided by 100) to reflect the real effort of a run, especially on varied terrain.)
