MapMyRun.com is an essential tool for travelers who wouldn't dream of skipping their run while they're away from home. Why just jog a few miles from your hotel when you can find trails and paths throughout the area rated by other serious runners?
What's hot: Finding a run, complete with maps and ratings, might be the most obvious thing you can do on the site -- but MapMyRun is also a community where you can meet up with other runners, find races and events, share stories and photos, or join interest groups. Too independent for group activities? Create a workout calendar or get a training plan for a marathon. Nonrunners can use the website as well. When you click "Search for Runs" and plug in the city and distance in miles, you can also use the pull-down menu for "route type." I was surprised to find such options as biking, dog walking, hiking, skating, mountain biking and kayaking. (The site is part of the MapMyFitness family, which includes MapMyRideMapMyFitness, MapMyHike and more.)
