Good idea, with one glaring (to me) problem: Running Routes maps are not editable. Make a mistake, and you have to start over. Bummer on a marathon course.

I much prefer MapMyRun.com, as it is editable, and can be kept private. The only people that can see it are the ones you send the link to. It does not appear in any search results.

If you did choose to make it public, then it could be found by someone searching for that race name. No problem there.

As much as I would like to stay within USATF, I just cannot recommend Running Routes over MapMyRun.com, due to the editablility factor. I won't use Running Routes, as long as MapMyRun.com is available.
