as far as I know (and I didn't design the software) a garmin can't work this out and as CharlieB alludes "what's the point". All race/challenge distances are measured as the crow flies. I suspose there may be some value in working out as an academic exercise, but real life application is pretty limited : unless of course you are looking for a couple of extra miles for your yearly total!
