My Marathons Map

A Map of Marathons I've Run

I've loved maps since I was a kid. Now, my near addiction to my Garmin devices is a way that my love of maps and sports come together.

In the project pictured above, I've built a map of all the marathon courses I have run. The KML files are not from my own Garmin; I didn't have a Garmin for some of the races; for others, my Garmin died part of the way through. I mostly found the KML files already uploaded to Google maps or on Map My Run.

You can build your own map, too. Just use Google Maps "My Maps" feature, create a map, and then import KML (or similar) files from your own Garmin/GPS device, or from elsewhere on the web (as I did).

Stay tuned for more of my maps! Be in touch if you have questions about creating your own.
