Greg running a mountain trail between his Eastern States 100 and Grindstone 100 ultramarathon Strava posters

The Feet Follow the Heart

Greg, Pennsylvania, USA · September 2026

"I have been running ultra trail marathons for the past several years. As I continue to challenge myself, it's become important to look back at past races as motivation. These maps bring everything full circle. When I look at them, I remember the dedication and discipline it took to accomplish those feats. The figurative and literal ups and downs throughout the training and race journeys strengthen my resolve to go one more step, one more mile when things get tough. They are a source of immense pride which validates my commitment to doing hard things. Just like any training plan is customized to your needs, so is My Adventure Maps. Their platform has everything you need to build the perfect map. They have numerous options and customization tools to create and capture your special accomplishment or activity."

Behind the Design

Greg ordered two 50×70cm prints as a pair: the Eastern States 100 and the Grindstone 100, each just over 106 miles. Both routes run in warm orange over a Satellite background, so the ridges and valleys of Pennsylvania and Virginia show through. Highlights mark places along the course, and the footer pairs the finish time with an elevation profile of every climb.

99th Comrades Marathon Up Run poster on a satellite map, Durban to Pietermaritzburg

Chasing Silver

Zack, Texas, USA · October 2026

"I've been chasing a silver medal finish at the Comrades marathon in South Africa for a long time. When it finally happened this year, I wanted something that would both visualize that achievement and provide inspiration for future efforts. Seeing this map reminds me to continue challenging what I think I am capable of."

Behind the Design

Zack mapped the 86 km Up Run from Durban to Pietermaritzburg on a borderless Satellite background, with the Indian Ocean coastline in the corner. The title is set in the bold RTCO Flinton font, and the footer stacks distance, climbing and his silver medal time of 7:24:49 above an elevation profile colored by gradient.

Twisted Branch 100K Trail Run Strava Poster

Capable of More Than They Think

Alex, New York, USA · August 2026

"This race was the culmination of a year of training, sacrifice, and commitment to self. To have a poster that can showcase the beautiful and rugged terrain, as well as serve as a reminder of the monumental effort that was needed to finish the race, it is worth every dollar. This trail has grown with my spouse and I as beginner backpackers, to curious trail runners, to parents and now ultramarathoners. This trail has seen some of our first overnight trips, quick day hikes, tested out gear, provided our kids their first hikes, and countless other memories. To have the opportunity and privilege to traverse it's entire length in one effort is equally intimidating as it is transformative.

I decided to make this poster as a gift to my spouse for their completion of the race, to hopefully give them something to help remember the determination and perseverance they showed to train through trauma, work, parenting, and all the ups and downs life seems to bring. I wanted something that when they look at it, they can see all of that and the reward it got them, a 100K finish and irrefutable proof that they are capable of more than they think!"

Behind the Design

Alex traced the full 63-mile Twisted Branch 100K route in Navy Blue over a Watercolor background, letting every switchback and climb through the Finger Lakes hills stand out. A custom title with the race name and date sits up top, and the footer carries the final stats: distance, elevation gain, and finish time.

Bikepacking Northeast Italy Strava Poster

Bikepacking in Italy

Dick, The Netherlands · August 2026

"The map beautifully captures our bikepacking trip through Northeast Italy. The kilometers through the heat were made up for by the stunning landscape we rode through. Gravel and asphalt alternated, just like small towns and nature reserves. The map shows at a glance where we've been and helps keep the memory of the trip alive."

Behind the Design

Our customization tool allows you to combine individual Strava rides into one big loop. By selecting the Segment color mode, each leg gets its own color, letting the different days of a trip stand out.

Marathon Training Heatmap Strava Poster

My Marathon Preparation

Jennifer, The Netherlands · November 2025

"Having a poster with the course of the marathon is fun and a nice memento, but what truly makes the marathon experience special for me is all the time and effort invested to get to that starting line.

This poster doesn't just represent the race itself; it symbolizes the entire journey. It represents all the easy and hard kilometers, the discovery of favorite and new running routes, lots of smiles and some tears, but in general, it represents a rewarding period of hard work, discipline, and joy."

Behind the Design

To create this look, Jennifer used our customization tool to select the Terrain background layer and a deep Navy Blue for her activity tracks. By using the Heatmap setting, she consolidated over 500km of training data into a single visual, where the most frequent routes naturally stand out. She finished it off with a custom footer label to highlight her total distance.

Lydia and Josh's adventures Strava Map Poster

Lydia and Josh's adventures

Lydia and Josh, Hawaii · February 2026

"Running has always been a big part of our relationship. We met for the first time on a trail run, and we took our wedding photos in the middle of a trail race.

We are truly fortunate to live in Hawaii where we continuously explore and challenge ourselves on these beautiful islands. To see all of our adventures so far on one gorgeous map is really special and evokes so many memories."

Behind the Design

Together mode in our customization tool allows you to log in with two Strava accounts, automatically finding everything you've done together and combining it onto one map.

With together mode, Lydia and Josh logged more than two years of trail running data. By selecting a Sketchy Map style with blue tracks, they created a map that captures the energy of the Hawaiian islands. They also logged their statistics on the map.

"The Journey is the reward"

Julian, Germany · December 2025

"This 12-week marathon training block was about rebuilding with purpose. Coming back from injury, the focus wasn't on chasing the biggest numbers but on showing up consistently, staying healthy, and getting the work done.

There were ups and downs along the way, and not everything went perfectly, but each tough workout, each long and cold Sunday morning reinforced patience and resilience. There was also the joy of committing to a target and to just execute step-by-step.

Most importantly, the block helped me regain confidence in my body and arrive at race day believing I was ready. ."

Behind the Design

Julian focused his map on a specific 12-week timeframe using the date filter in our customization tool. He paired the Terrain background with high-contrast Navy Blue routes to make his progress pop. To give the poster its modern, data-driven feel, he used our custom typography options to overlay his final stats in an LCD-style font.
