About

FlatRoute

Find the flattest way to run. FlatRoute finds running routes with the least climbing from wherever you are. Tell it how far you want to go, and it returns three routes ranked by flatness, each with an elevation profile so you can see the climb before you head out. It doesn't just count elevation. FlatRoute also scores each route on real-world friction: traffic lights, road crossings, busy roads, and surface. So the route you get is genuinely runnable, not just flat on paper. Make it yours: Set your exact distance. Choose a loop or an out-and-back. Avoid busy roads. Avoid repeating the same streets. Prefer trails or paved paths. Built for easy days, recovery runs, beginners, stroller runs, and anyone training in a hilly city who just wants to keep it flat. FlatRoute Pro: Unlimited route generation. Save your favorite routes. Export any route as GPX for your watch or other apps. Free to start, with a few routes a day at no cost. No account, no sign-up, no ads. Your location is used only to find routes.
