Create a Random Route in RunKeeper
  1. Punch in an address or intersection as a starting (and ending) point at http://www.routeloops.com/
  2. Type in a route length in miles. You might need to convert from km if you're metric like me. You can change the units of measurement in the settings.
  3. Click "Creat a route of this Length"
  4. Click "Import/Export"
  5. Choose GPX (you don't need a large number of points for a route).
  6. This will open GPX output in a new window/tab. Use the save function of your browser, and give the file a name with the extension .gpx
  7. If you haven't already, install the RunKeeper GPX bookmarklet at http://jacqueminv.github.io/rkrace-bookmarklet/
  8. Login to RunKeeper.
  9. Visit http://runkeeper.com/new/route
  10. Now click the RunKeeper GPX bookmarklet installed in step #7. You should see a GPX icon on the left side.
  11. Find the GPX file you saved, then drag it to that spot on your browser.
  12. Name and save the route.
