Gift idea
The perfect gift for a runner.
Skip the energy gel and yet another pair of socks. Surprise the runner in your life with a poster of their marathon or favorite loop — personal and lasting.
One ride. Endless looks.
Different rides, each in its own palette, map style and elevation gradient.
Why this works
Runners already have their gear
Anyone who runs seriously picks their own shoes. The socks, the watch, the gels: all chosen already, usually after weeks of comparing. That is why a practical running gift is almost always a gamble, and often a duplicate.
What a runner does not have yet is something tangible from the race those months of training went into. Of the first half marathon, the mountain trail or the morning it finally worked, there is a medal and a results page — and nothing else.
A poster of their route fills that in. You need the GPX file of the run, or the official course if it was a race. Their name and time go in the title and subtitle; the rest you choose yourself. You get the print-ready file and print it at the size that suits their wall.
Why it makes a great gift
A poster of a race they'll never forget — far more personal than standard running gear.
-
Belongs with the medal
The medal says they finished; the poster shows where — every bend and every hill of the course.
-
Their time, their words
You add their name, finish time or a personal line yourself, in the title and subtitle.
-
Trails get their due
For a mountain race or ultra, the elevation profile under the map shows how hard it was.
Coming soon: broader packages and extra sizes.

The first 10K, half or full marathon — a moment that sticks.
-
The personal best
The time they worked towards longest, with the date and course.
-
The trail
A mountain race or ultra, where the elevation profile shows the effort.
-
The regular loop
The route from home they ran for years — more personal than a race.

Frequently asked questions
-
What's a good gift for a runner?
A poster of their marathon or favourite loop — personal and lasting, instead of more running gear.
-
How do I get the route of their race?
From their own recording: an export from their watch or their Strava run. If that doesn't work, many organisers publish the official course as a GPX on their website.
-
Which size goes well next to a medal?
An A3 in a simple frame hangs nicely next to a medal hanger. If you want the poster to be the centrepiece, choose A2 and hang the medal below it.
-
Can I put their finish time on the poster?
Yes. Title and subtitle are free to fill in, so you can put their name on top and the finish time below. Date, distance and duration come from the file.
-
How quickly do I have the gift?
Immediately. You make the poster in your browser and download the file right after payment. There is no delivery time, so all that's left is printing.
-
What if they just missed the time they wanted?
Leave the time off and put the date and the race name on it. Then the poster is about the fact that they were there, not about the clock.
Surprise a runner with their own race
Upload their run, add their name and time, and print it to hang next to the medal.
Opens the editor with a real 151 km ride through South Limburg. Everything is editable, and you can still upload your own GPX afterwards.
