How do I find 5K running routes near me?

Allow location access and this page sorts every 5 kilometre route by how far it is from you, nearest first. You can also pick your town from the 5K routes by town list to see all the 5K routes in that area.

Are there running routes near me with a 5K loop?

Yes. Many of the 5K routes here are loops that start and finish in the same place, so you can park once and run a full 5 kilometres without retracing your steps. Loop routes are labelled on each route card.

Are the 5K routes free with GPX downloads?

Yes. Every 5K route on Skamper is free to view, includes an elevation profile, and can be downloaded as a GPX file or navigated turn by turn in the app.

Are the routes exactly 5 kilometres?

We include routes between 4.8 km and 5.2 km, so every one is close enough to 5K for parkrun-pace training, a time trial or a steady jog.

Can I use these as jogging routes rather than racing?

Absolutely. Each route shows its ascent and how much of it is paved, so you can pick a flat, surfaced 5K for an easy jog or a hillier trail loop when you want to work harder.
