The sea air hits at Barceloneta around km 10. The city opens up, the road flattens out, and the Mediterranean sits just off to your right. The Sagrada Família comes later, on the Avinguda de Gaudí. The finish is on Passeig de Gràcia, one of Europe's great boulevards, with the Eixample grid stretching out behind you. Turn your Strava data or GPX file into a poster that does the course justice.

Barcelona is the race people choose when they want a PB without sacrificing the experience. Flat coastal roads, Mediterranean warmth in March, AIMS Gold Label status. A poster of their exact course, with their name and finish time, is the kind of gift that reflects both.
“I ran Barcelona for the combination: a fast course that also happens to be a beautiful city. The poster captures that perfectly. The colour options in the editor let me match the warmth of the race day and I was genuinely surprised by how clean the final result looked.”

The race
Barcelona is not trying to be a running destination. It just happens to be one. Flat roads, March warmth, a Mediterranean waterfront at km 10, the Sagrada Fàmilia rising above the Eixample grid, and a finish on Passeig de Gràcia. A course that rewards fast runners and rewards looking up.
The Avinguda de Gaudí takes you directly past Gaudí's unfinished basilica. The towers are visible well before you reach it. One of the most striking kilometres of any marathon in the world.
Around the ten-kilometre mark the city opens up at Barceloneta beach. The Mediterranean on your right, the morning light sharp and low, the course flat beneath your feet. The section where Barcelona stops feeling urban and starts feeling coastal.
The course finishes on one of Barcelona's grandest boulevards, at the heart of the Eixample grid. Modernista facades on both sides, the city's famous geometry stretching into the distance. A finish line that looks as good on a poster as it feels in person.
AIMS Gold Label, Mediterranean warmth, minimal elevation outside a short climb to Montjuïc. Barcelona attracts runners chasing a PB alongside runners who just want a great race in a great city. Usually the same person.
Barcelona's famous diagonal grid makes for a distinctive-looking poster. The octagonal blocks and long straight avenues are immediately recognizable. This course doesn't need labels to tell you where it is.
Import your Strava activity or GPX file and the poster traces your exact path through Barcelona: the coast, the grid, the Sagrada, the finish. Add your finish time and name. Your run, not a template.

If Barcelona is the race you want framed on its own, a single route keeps that Mediterranean loop past the Sagrada Familia and through the Gothic Quarter as the only thing on the page. If you are treating it as one race inside a bigger training year, heatmap mode layers it in alongside every other run, so Barcelona sits inside the wider picture rather than standing apart from it.
Barcelona is known as one of the faster, flatter marathon courses, so elevation coloring will not show the dramatic swings a mountain race would. Coloring by pace still tells a story, especially in the tighter turns near the Gothic Quarter compared with the open stretches along the coast. A plain color keeps the focus on the shape of the route itself, which carries plenty of the city in it either way.
The route already follows the real course along the coast and past the Sagrada Familia. From there you pick the map background, adjust the route color and line thickness, and add your name, finish time, and a title. If you would rather show your own line, connect Strava or upload your GPX file and it replaces the official course with your exact race-day trace.
Course details along the coast shift slightly from year to year, so if the loaded route does not line up with the one you ran, send us the GPX file and we will get the right version added rather than leaving you to adjust it yourself.
