Running
Custom marathon poster: your race, printed
The exact course of your marathon, half or trail race, your finish time and the date as a subtitle, printed on premium paper. You see the result before you order.
42.195 km to hang on your wall
A custom marathon poster is not a generic design with your name on it: it is your course. The Paris Marathon, New York or the local trail race, taken point by point from the GPX track on your watch, or picked from the races already drawn on Paperoad.
Title and subtitle are free text: the race name, the date, your time, your bib number, the name of whoever was waiting at the finish. The distance is calculated from the track. Map style, line colour, start and finish markers: everything adjusts live, at the exact size of the poster.
And unlike a poster composed after you order, you only pay once you have approved the result on screen. A first marathon, then a second, then a half: same size, same style, and the series reads like a record board on the wall.
Posters already printed
Road trips, hikes, marathons, bike tours: every poster starts from a real journey.

Which race?
Marathon
Paris, New York, Berlin, London, Valencia, La Rochelle: the full loop with your time as a subtitle. The first marathon above all, the one you never forget.
Half marathon and 10K
Paris Half, the 20 km de Paris, your city 10K: a shorter course looks great at 30 × 40, with the time in large type as a subtitle.
Trail and ultra
UTMB, Diagonale des Fous, SaintéLyon, Templiers or a local trail race: import the track, add the elevation gain as a subtitle. A bib goes in a drawer, a poster stays on the wall.
A gift for a runner
For a finisher, the gift that duplicates nothing: their course, their time, framed. If you do not have their track, a gift card lets them design the poster.

Three sizes, three papers. Semi-glossy makes colours pop, 200 gsm matte kills reflections, the most popular choice, and 250 gsm premium matte has a thicker, fine-art grain. Free delivery to Europe, the UK, the US and Canada.

Frequently asked questions
How do I put my finish time and bib number on the poster?
Title and subtitle are free text fields: write the race name, the date, your time and your bib number however you like. The track distance is calculated automatically.
My race is not in the list, can I still make the poster?
Yes. Import the GPX file recorded by your watch or Strava, or the official course that most organisers publish on their website. Without a file, place the checkpoints by hand in the editor.
Can I order the poster before running the race?
Yes. The course alone, with no time, makes a fine goal above the desk. Many runners then order a second poster with their time once they have crossed the line.
Which size should I choose to give a marathon poster?
30 × 40 for a desk or a hallway, 40 × 50 for a living room. Under a frame, 200 gsm matte paper avoids reflections; it is the most popular choice.
How is this different from the Strava poster?
None in the result: it is the same editor. The Strava and GPX poster page explains how to export the file from Strava, Garmin or Komoot; this page starts from the race and your time.
Can I make a series of several races?
Yes. One poster per race, same size and style, or all the tracks on a single map if the courses are close to each other. Saved posters stay in your account.
What are the delivery times?
The poster is printed to order and shipped in a rigid tube, usually within 1 to 5 working days. Delivery is free to Europe, the UK, the US and Canada. The PDF file is available immediately.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You order with just an email address. After payment, an email lets you set a password if you want to find your order and files later.
What if I am not happy with the poster?
Get in touch: we answer within 24 hours and work through it with you. Our return policy sets out the details.
