Maps are important to most charity walks. Unless the route is on something like a race track, maps will be required. Wouldn’t it be great if there was an online tool that could help map out your charity walks?

The benefits would include:

• Automatically calculation of  the distance of the charity walk
• Printed map with an accurate route description would be available for route approvals
• Committee knows the route in advance for planning (signs, water stations, etc.)
• Safety crews know the route in advance for planning (radios, etc.)
• Walkers know the route in advance
• The map could be used to help promote the charity walk

Online mapping programs have been primarily developed and used for street maps. But there are a few available that create maps to support walking tours and training for runners. Why not use these online tools for charity walks?

Check out the following websites to map out your next charity walk:

• Gmaps Pedometer (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com)
• bluewalks (http://www.bluewalks.com)
• CommunityWalk (http://www.communitywalk.com)
• MapMyWalk (http://www.mapmywalk.com)

Be sure to leave a comment if you know of other online mapping programs that could support charity walks or to add your personal experience from using any of these tools.

Thanks,

p.s. Be sure to get your copy of The Walkathon Guide at http://TheWalkathonGuide.com for an inexpensive ebook with additional charity walk tips and resources.
