On April 3rd (Easter Sunday) the Two Oceans Ultra and Half Marathons will take place in Cape Town South Africa.  Described by the organisers as “the world’s most beautiful marathon”, having visited Cape Town I would have to agree.

We had a look at the Mapometer Search Engine and found the route of the Half Marathon here.  Please email info@mapometer.com if you have posted the route of the Ultra Marathon or if anyone has any special routes they would like to share.

And thanks again to hwilki12 for mapping the route of the Edinburgh Marathon which will take place on the 23rd May.  More details here.

Many thanks to hwilki12 for sending in the route of last Sunday’s Inverness Half Marathon

We noticed that this route was consistently getting a lot of hits and we decided to investigate a bit further.  The route is 25 kms long (15.5 miles) and has for the last two months appeared in the top 50 of Mapometer’s visited pages.

The peninsula boasts breathtaking views of Wellington and the surrounding areas.

Hi

We are trying to develop our blog and we are looking for two or three bloggers who might be interested in sharing their views with our users.  The main site currently around 4000 unique visitors a day and we have over 50,000 registered users.

We are looking for established bloggers that write about running, cycling, walking and other outdoor activities  as well as larger national envents (New York Marathon, Tour de France etc).  Our site is used by users worldwide so stories about specific geographical locations would be of less interest.

If you are interested in contributing to our site and sharing the ad revenue please email info@mapometer.com

Thanks.  James

Here, by popular request, is the route of the Brighton Marathon.

Please let us know if you have any other routes you would like us to post.

We emailed UK users with the route to the 2010 London Marathon last night and we have had loads of emails requesting the routes of other marathons and half marathons.  We haven’t got time to map them all but if anyone has done it already we will put the URL on this blog if it is a well attended race.  We are thinking about a way of displaying these geographically in the meantime.

Please email the URL of any races you have plotted to us here.

We have posted the route of the 2010 London Marathon on Mapometer.com.  Good luck to all who are doing it and we hope the training is going well.

You can now import and export GPX files for use with your Garmin or other Navigational device.  The Import button is available in the “My Account” page.  The Export Button is shown when you map a route.

We recently reached a small milestone.  300,000 routes have now been mapped on the site from our 46,000 registered users.  The 300,000th route was a a walk in London between Shepherds Bush and Whitfield Street.

Most of these routes can be found in our Search Engine.
