> It builds the loop from real map data, so the distance actually matches when you run it.

```text
Create a circular running route of about [RUN DISTANCE, e.g. 5K] that starts and ends at [START POINT, e.g. my home address]. Use real streets and paths from open map data. I'd like [ROUTE PREFERENCES, e.g. quiet streets, a park, few busy crossings]. Give me the total distance, turn-by-turn directions with the distance between turns, a map I can open on my phone or a file I can import into my running app, and a note on any hills or tricky crossings. If you can't hit the distance exactly, get within 0.2 km and tell me the difference.
```

## Step by step

1. Open ChatGPT Work and pick the most capable model available.
2. Paste the prompt with your start point and distance.
3. Open the route on your phone and check it before you head out.
