Race Courses Through History
For race directors: courses that pass listed sites, with the history on the course map and on the medal.
Every page below lists the real sites nearest that place, from the National Register of Historic Places, the Recorded Texas Historic Landmark program and the Georgia historical marker program, with the distance and the source for each one.
How it works
- 1
Pick the distance first, then the stops that fit it
- 2
Load the route and note the regroup points
- 3
Run easy and stop at each marker long enough to read it
- 4
Take one photo per stop, no more, and keep moving
- 5
Save the route so the next run starts where this one ended
Questions people ask first
How much does it cost to visit these sites in your area?
Most listed sites can be seen from a public road or sidewalk at no cost, and the app is free to use. Some sites are private homes, working churches or museums with their own hours and fees. The record for each one says what it is, so you know before you go.
Where does the information on these sites come from?
From published records: the National Register of Historic Places, the Recorded Texas Historic Landmark program, and the Georgia Historical Society and Georgia Department of Natural Resources marker program. Every site on the page names its source.
What does a license for your area include?
Routes built from every listed site in your area, your branding and stories, badges and challenges, and visitor counts you can report on. Terms are set per organization and area, so there is no single-price page.
Do we have to maintain the site data ourselves?
No. The listed sites come from the published records and are kept current centrally. You add the local stories and the routes you want visitors to follow.
The rules that make it work
The record comes first
Every site on these pages comes from a published register or marker program, with its source named. Nothing is listed that is not on the record.
Read the whole story
A marker is a few lines on a post. The story behind it is longer, and it includes the hard parts. Both are worth the stop.
Movement makes it stick
People remember the places they walked to. A route through five markers teaches more than fifty marker pages read on a couch.
Local beats famous
The marker two streets over usually has a better story than the one in the guidebook, and nobody else is standing in front of it.
Respect the ground
Many sites are private homes, working churches or cemeteries. View from the public way, follow posted hours, and leave it as you found it.
Every visitor can improve it
Markers go missing, get moved, or carry mistakes. A photo or a location fix from the person standing there is how the record stays right.
