CityHeart Answers
Short, factual answers about heart-shaped running routes: pricing, GPX and watches, the 3D flyover, dedications, marathons, and shape quality. One page, every question.
What is a heart-shaped running route?
A GPS art route planned so that, when you run or walk it while recording, the trace on Strava, Garmin Connect or any GPS app draws a recognisable heart on the map.
How does CityHeart work?
Pick a city and a distance. CityHeart generates dozens of heart candidates on real streets, scores them, quality-checks the best one visually, and shows it on the map with a free 3D flyover. The GPX download is €4.99 one-time.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no account, ever — preview free, pay only for the GPX.
Which cities are covered?
Over 200 curated cities across 50+ countries, 3,000+ heart routes already generated; the generator works anywhere with enough connected streets.
How much does it cost?
Preview and 3D flyover free; GPX download €4.99 one-time with a 14-day refund. No subscription.
Which devices are compatible?
Garmin, Apple Watch (WorkOutDoors or Strava), Coros, Suunto, Polar, Wahoo, and any GPX-compatible app such as Strava, Komoot or AllTrails.
What is the 3D flyover?
A free cinematic replay of your route: the camera tilts over real 3D buildings while your heart draws itself as a glowing line. After purchase you can download it as a short vertical video.
How does the dedication work?
The name you type is embedded in the GPX: it shows on your watch during the run and in your Strava activity title after.
Can I run a heart before my marathon?
Yes — a 3-5 km heart is the perfect shakeout run. CityHeart covers 45 major marathons and half marathons with dedicated pages.
Will my route really look like a heart?
Every candidate is scored geometrically and quality-checked visually before being shown; if no clean heart exists in your area, CityHeart says so instead of selling a bad shape.
