A gift for runners, cyclists and hikers
A medal ends up in a drawer. So does a race number, and a finisher shirt goes even faster.
The line stays on the wall. The file from the watch is all it takes to draw it: the real route, second by second, laid on the geography of the place.
The watch file is all it takes
Every watch and every app exports the same file: Strava, Garmin, Komoot, Suunto, Polar. You drop it into the editor, and the line appears on the map, exactly where it was run.
This is not a drawing that resembles the route: it is the recorded track, laid on real geography. The streets are the actual streets, the contour lines the actual hills.
Nothing to install, nothing to convert, no account needed to try. You watch the poster take shape on screen before deciding anything.
What the map shows, sport by sport
A city route and a mountain route are not framed the same way.
Running
A marathon, a ten kilometre, a first half. The line of a city race draws the city itself: you recognise the bridges, the squares, and the turn at the thirtieth kilometre.
Trail running
Here the relief matters as much as the route. The map shows the contour lines, and a line that climbs and drops tells the race better than a finishing time.
Cycling
A long ride, a mountain pass, a week of touring. Cycling covers ground: landscape format suits it, and the map then takes in whole valleys.
Hiking
A long-distance path, a circuit, a crossing over several days. The line reads as an itinerary, with the stages marked along it.
The numbers that say the effort
Beneath the line, three lines are enough, and they are the ones that get reread.
- 01
The name of the race
London Marathon, UTMB, or the Sunday loop. It is the title of the poster, and it is often enough on its own.
- 02
The date and the time
3:47. A number nobody else quite understands, and precisely what the poster is about.
- 03
The distance and the climb
26.2 miles. 1,840 metres of ascent. The two numbers a runner quotes from memory ten years later.
When to give it
Just after the race
The feeling is fresh and the track is still in the watch. It is the best moment, and the one nobody thinks of.
A first race number
The ten kilometre that counts more than all the ones after it. There is only one first.
A goal reached
A first marathon, a pass climbed, a long path finished. A date that will not come again, and that a finishing time alone does not keep.
For no occasion at all
A hallway wall and the line of the Sunday ride. You do not need a birthday to hang a route you love.
