What is RunInk?
RunInk makes map posters out of your Strava history, and it does it two ways. Single-run mode takes one activity and draws it on its own, route line with pace, distance markers and the stats underneath — the format you'd want for a first marathon or a route that meant something. Composite mode is the more interesting one: it takes every run you've logged inside a city and layers them into one piece, so what you end up with isn't a route at all but the shape of where you actually go. Your territory, drawn by repetition.
There are ten themes — Noir, Midnight Blue, Japanese Ink, Blueprint, Coral, Sage, Neon, Copper, Arctic and Terracotta — and you switch between them freely while designing, so the decision is visual rather than a form you fill in. Designing costs nothing and needs no card. Worth knowing before you get attached to the result: their terms describe the free download as a watermarked image, with a clean digital file as a paid option, which the pricing section on the homepage doesn't spell out.
Prints start at $25 for a 30x40cm matte and run to $75 for a framed 50x70cm, and the price includes shipping — the posters are produced and sent by Gelato, so worldwide delivery isn't a special case. It's a young service: the privacy policy dates to March 2026 and the terms to July, and it's run by Tempisque Technology Company, a Delaware LLC.
Key Features
Composite city maps
Pick a city and it pulls every run you've recorded there into a single heat-map-style artwork. This is the feature that separates it from the general run-poster category, where one route on one page is the whole idea.
Ten themes, switched live
Noir through Terracotta, each a complete palette rather than a colour swap, and you can cycle through all ten against your own route before committing to one.
Free design, free download
The whole editor is open without payment or a card. You only pay if you want the poster on paper, or the unwatermarked file.
Five sizes, framing included
30x40cm at $25, 40x60cm at $35, 50x70cm at $45, and the two larger sizes with a black aluminium frame at $55 and $75. Printing and shipping are in those numbers.
Gift codes
Buy a poster for someone else and they get a code, connect their own Strava, design their own poster and redeem it. The gifter never has to guess which run mattered.
It doesn't keep your health data
Their privacy policy is unusually specific: heart rate and calorie fields that the fitness APIs return are not used, displayed or stored, and activity data is cached in memory to render the poster rather than written to a database. Nothing is sold or shared for advertising.
Who It's For
- Runners with one race that mattered who want it on a wall rather than in a feed
- City runners with years of history, who get more out of composite mode than out of any single route
- Gift buyers who want to give a runner something personal without picking the run themselves
- The privacy-minded, given the service reads your activities without retaining the health metrics attached to them
