How it works in New York City

  1. Pick a distance

    Anything from 2 to 18 miles. Start where you're standing, or search for a park, a café or a corner anywhere in New York City.

  2. Follow the turns

    The voice names every street before you reach it, so the phone stays in your pocket and your eyes stay on traffic.

  3. See what you drew

    Your last turn reveals the drawing. Connect Strava and it posts to your feed with the route and stats.

You'll see it when you've run it
