Run route with multiple laps

When going to run I use streets around my house doing 10 round laps of about 1km each.

I have created a route on these streets, is there a way to duplicate it 10 times or I have to draw 10 circuits on the same streets?

And plotaroute also has a tool for that.

I have created multi lap courses by "drawing" the laps multiple times. I'm not sure there is a way to "copy" a loop multiple times.

One thing to have in mind though, is that Garmin fenix can't handle detours or GPS losses on one lap during circular routes.

If the watch loose the course in later laps, it restarts the course on correct…

If you have already recorded your 10 circuit loop, you can turn the activity into a course for future runs.

Nice idea, but the recorded loop is not so accurate due to gps error (100m on 10km)

Once I have the same question myself, then I realised that running the same shape 5-15 times I don't really need navigation for that.

Out of curiosity, not a critic: do you really need navigation for that?

No need for me too. I was wondering if following a track the watch could take the distance from the track and not from GPS

I understand. Unfortunately it doesn't not with a standard urban track.

It can be done with help of external tools:

That's the best answer right there.

I'd also add additional laps, in case you end up running 11, 12+ laps on a particular day. Maybe make it 20 laps or so; you can always stop the course early, whereas it'll be hard to add more laps to it on the fly.

Yes, but gpx.studio is 100% free and doesn't require an account.
