I am unable to get my previous race routes to show up on the Race Route feature on my Apple Watch Series 8 with WatchOS 9.2. I have location enabled on my phone and watch and have run a few different routes 2 or 3 times. The routes show up in a map view in my fitness app but my watch does not have them available for selection in the outdoor run menu.
Am I missing something to enable or access the Race Route feature?

Hello generic_user1,
We would like to see how we can help you with your route and viewing it. This would be expected behavior to see it on the iPhone only. You can see more information at: Run with your Apple Watch
"View your route
To see the route, you must have an Apple Watch Series 2 or later or have your iPhone with you during the workout. You must also turn on route tracking: On your iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, tap Apple Watch Workout, then tap While Using the App."
Apple always wants to improve your experience with their devices. Let them know how at: Product Feedback - Apple
Cheers!
Sean,
Thanks for your response but those steps have not resolved my issue. I can see my route on my iPhone after running with my Apple Watch Series 8 (WatchOS 9.2) but the route is not available in my Outdoor Run menu. I’ve ran the same outdoor route 4 times and my Apple Watch records the route but it is not available as a Race Route. Not sure if this is the issue but my route involves multiple laps around a lake. The start and finish locations are always the same and I do not deviate from the same path. Any insight you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hello generic_user1,
Thanks for checking the options.
Please contact Apple Support to check into this more.
Thanks.
