Waypoint Beta

Running’s the easy part.

Waypoint handles the water, the fuel, and the bathroom you didn’t plan on.

Find amenities

Public bathrooms and water fountains, on one map. Runners add them. Runners confirm they still work.

Greater Boston is mapped. Your town needs you.

Plan routes

Tap out a route. Waypoint lists every bathroom and fountain along it, by mile. Send the route to Strava when you’re done.

Hydrate right

Enter the distance. It checks the weather and tells you what to drink before, during and after, using the gels and mixes you actually carry.
