What’s new

Move along the elevation profile of your race plan and a runner dot follows the course. Under the chart, a readout tells you what your plan says at that exact point: where you are, your clock time, the next aid station and how far it is, your next fuel, and what you have eaten and drunk so far.

The planner page shows the same chart on a demo plan, so you can try it before building your own. On My plans, the plan on your watch is highlighted, with "On watch" under its name.

No Garmin? The GPX download in your race plan now carries the whole course with every aid station and marker on it, named with its cutoff, so other watches show them along the route.

On COROS, open the Download menu and follow the steps under the GPX: import the route, turn on waypoint alerts at each aid station, and set the nutrition alert to the interval from your own fueling plan.

Aid stations you add yourself can now have a cutoff too. It shows in your plan, your roadbook, on your Garmin and in the GPX.

Your profile has a new look. Your name and avatar sit on one card at the top: tap the camera to change your picture, or edit your name in place.

Below it, your fueling settings are quicker to fill in, and your kit list is easier to read on a phone. Log out now lives only in the account menu, which lists your profile, race plans, season and saved races in that order.

Pick a target race, from Kliva or one you add yourself, and tell us your typical week and your longest recent run. Season lays out every month until race day: weekly km, D+ and long-run ranges that grow at a pace you can absorb, with easier weeks built in and a taper before the start.

It checks the plan against your level and tells you straight away if you are on track, stretching it, or aiming too steep, with ways to make it fit. On the way, it suggests prep races near home that suit each stage of the build.

Nothing to download or copy. Activate a race plan and Kliva sends the race course to your Garmin by itself, with every aid station on it, next to your plan in the Kliva data field.

On the watch, open Navigation, then Courses: your race is there, named with its distance and your plan name, cut to 16 characters (for example "140K UTMB - Verb"). My plans shows the exact name. Pick it, start your activity, and you are navigating.

We recommend this course over any other GPX. Your arrival times, aid alerts and the whole plan are built on its exact distances, so the watch and the plan stay in step all race long. Change the plan and the watch updates the course on its next sync. Works on recent Garmin watches (not the fenix 6 series).

Each country now has its own page with every upcoming race, month by month. The season chart shows when races peak; tap a month to jump to it. Each month lists its most notable races, with the full month one click away, and every region of the country sits at the bottom.

Race and region pages now link up to their country, and the Countries page takes you straight to each one.

New kit option "Main carb source: drink": your mix covers as much of your carbs as your fluid allows, and gels only fill the gap instead of one every hour. All fueling now lives in your race plan.

Search, place, dates, distance and D+ now sit in one bar above the results. Distances come in finer steps, from 0–10 km up to 100 miles, and a new D+ slider sets both a minimum and a maximum.

The watch guide now fits on one screen: install the app, enter your pairing code (shown right in the guide when logged in), add the data field. Pair before your first plan; new accounts get a code at sign-up.

Cut the course your way: split a long climb in two, or merge short sections into one. Paces and arrival times update for every segment you set.

Follow your race stop by stop: each leg between aid stations, the segments inside it, even a climb that carries on past a station, and what to carry to the next stop.

Spotted a wrong date, distance or link? Every race page now has a link that opens a pre-filled email to us.

Your plan now shows whether your Garmin watch has picked up the latest version.
