I am also very curios how to access race routes on my Apple Watch with latest beta installed as there is no option for „race route“ showing up in the list of training activities!
Tap the three dots on the Outdoor Run activity, it should show you various pre-set types of runs, the race routes among them. If you can’t see any, try tapping the Filter icon on top of the list and choose to view all options.
When i tap the three dots on the Outdoor Run activity i have a set of predefined runs (Filter is set to ALL) but unfortunately race route is not among them. I can only see Distance, Pacer, Open, Time, Kilocalories and a button for „Create workout“.
That’s weird. I’m in Europe too, and even with the same version of Watch. It totally should be in the predefined ones (can’t create it - as it’s a reference to an existing previous run), maybe someone here will have an idea what’s the reason..? It’s not the location or Watch model, so perhaps some settings 🤔
Based on your reply i just did a complete reset (with backup restore) on my Apple Watch but still Race Route does not show up. All the apps on my Apple Watch should have the appropriate permissions for GPS since i can also see the exact running route after workout on my iPhone.
The trouble is there’s no clear guidelines available about how the feature works… 🤨 When looking in my available routes to race against, I only see four different ones, not all. The marketing texts from Apple talk about “frequently used routes” though - which seems to match my experience, I have recently used the displayed routes multiple times indeed. 1-2 runs don’t seem to be enough.
Well i have ran the same route approx. 40x in the past 2 months.
40x seems pretty frequent 😃
Maybeyou need to track a repeteaded set of runs after upgrading, pre-update runs might not be included?
