I agree with Phil. Would love to find parkrun render all their running routes. They already show locations on an OSM sourced map.
But as they choose the route, and they’re transient affairs with no indication outside of the event, I’d keep it in their own database. (much like buses)

Yeah, the Parkrun idea was spur-of-the-moment. I could argue that I can verify it on the ground any Saturday morning as it'll be covered in runners. I don't really want to proliferate Relations, but could be convinced if we got Parkrun itself to hook up with us to provide route maps. Not even sure it works anyway as the route involves 2 laps with slight differences. Anyway, i digress. Not going to do it now.

We only map walking, or cycling, routes which are verifiable on the ground.

These should only be mapped if there are permanent markers.

I am always  on the lookout for waymarks and I certainly haven't spotted any around The Quarry in Shrewsbury, where apparently one happens every Saturday.
