Upload a cycling course
Turn a GPX route into a course you can inspect.

Prepare the file
Use a GPX file containing the cycling course you intend to analyse. A useful route includes track points and elevation. Poor or missing elevation can limit climb detection and pacing estimates. The current race-analysis workflow is for cycling.
Load and inspect
- Open Race Analysis and use the Upload view.
- Drop the GPX into the course area or use the file picker.
- Check the displayed route information, then open the analysis.
- Inspect the map, elevation profile and detected segments before relying on estimates.
If the file does not work
- Check that it is a GPX track rather than an image, PDF or link to a route.
- Export the course again from its source if track points are missing or invalid.
- Check that the distance and elevation describe the intended route.
- Loading a course is separate from saving an analysis to your account.
