What's New in RunBuilder

1.6

September 15, 2026

COURSES Plan where you run, not just how you run. • Build a course by tapping points on the map. Your route snaps to real roads and paths as you go, or switch snapping off for tracks and trails. • Distance and elevation gain update live while you build, so you can hit a target distance before you leave the house. • Mile or kilometer markers sit right on the route, matching the units you already use. • Search for a starting point anywhere, or start from where you're standing. • Retrace to Start doubles a route back on itself for an out-and-back. Route to Start closes a loop along the roads. • Undo and redo any point while you build. • Save courses by name. They sync across your devices with iCloud. • Duplicate a saved course to build a variation without touching the original. • Review the elevation profile, with distance and elevation on labeled axes, before you head out. • Run a course outdoors with your route and your live position on screen. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Refreshed map controls in the course builder: larger, higher-contrast buttons that stay readable over busy map detail. • Clearer guidance while building a course, and a start point that's easy to pick out at a glance.

Grade Change doesn't work

On a wahoo Kickr: Speed changes. Grade does not change. So, I guess it only half works.
