Fly the course

All 26.2 miles through a model of Erie built from OpenStreetMap: real building footprints, heights and roof shapes, the water, and the course line itself. Scrub it, switch cameras, or let it play.

Course line a community trace of an earlier year's course, kept until a current trace exists; treat it as a preview. a 2013 trace of the two-loop Presque Isle course still described on the 2026 site Buildings, roads, parks and shorelines are OpenStreetMap, ODbL, so building coverage varies block to block. Public-domain USGS/USDA aerial imagery and USGS 3DEP terrain are served as static site assets; no paid map API runs in the browser. This is photographic terrain with modeled architecture, not photogrammetry. Bridge approaches, elevations and facade details remain approximate. The organizer's published route is the reference.

Accuracy check: drawn line is within 0.2% of the certified 26.2 miles; no part of the line passes through a building; 90% of it sits on a mapped road.
