Why turn a run into art?
Routes are usually picked for distance or elevation. A planned shape gives the same kilometres a second purpose: a heart for someone, a name on a birthday, an animal that fits the streets you have. The recorded activity looks the same on Strava or Garmin Connect, just with something to show at the end.
The painful part has always been plotting the route by hand, waypoint by waypoint. Draw My Loop skips that step. You pick a shape, drop it on a map, and the editor snaps it to real streets in seconds. From there it's a GPX file, your watch, and a normal run.
Whether you've never planned a route before or you've been doing this by hand for years, the studio is the same. You keep the level of control you want and skip the parts you don't.
