Posters
Cadence Prints
Connect Strava or upload GPX files, pick a map style, colours, labels and size, and Cadence Prints prints on 200gsm matte art paper. Unframed runs $29 for 12 by 16 inches up to $79 for 28 by 40, framed from $119 to $199, and a digital file in several sizes is $20. Shipping is free everywhere it ships, which covers the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, most of Europe and a few further afield. Order more than one print and the lot is 20 percent off. A print doesn’t have to be one activity: drop a year of runs or a week of bikepacking onto one sheet and it draws them all, which is the reason it leads this list. There’s a gift card that emails a code with a note, for the poster you can’t build because you can’t log into their Strava. Delivery time isn’t published.
Paper Trails
Two brothers in Bristol run Paper Trails. A4 is £23, A3 £27, A2 £35, and in a black, white or natural frame with perspex glazing £54, £66 or £86, plus shipping at cost. A digital JPG is £18. It reads your public Strava activities or a GPX or KML file, puts several routes or stages on one print, and lets you switch the text labels off. Imported data is metric unless you retype the numbers.
It ships to 22 countries, takes 48 to 72 hours to produce, and quotes two to fifteen business days for delivery depending on where you are. Gift vouchers go out by email. The terms were updated in January 2026.
English Cyclist
Rob started English Cyclist in the Peak District in 2014. The personalised map print is £35 at A3 and £45 at A2 in eight colour schemes, on FSC paper with archival inks, with a black aluminium frame as an option. You upload a GPX or connect Strava, and for a multi-day ride you upload the files in order. Two hand-made versions sit alongside it: a £40 to £50 map built from Strava links you paste at checkout, with a proof in two working days, and a done-for-you design at £48 to £68.
It ships worldwide: £3.99 to £6.99 for a poster in the UK, £6 to £10 to Europe and North America, framed prints more. Posters dispatch in one to two days and framed in five to seven. Cycling is the brand, and the triathlon collection extends it. The map tool is a GPX tool, so a run should work, but the site doesn’t say so.
Outdoor Art Print
Outdoor Art Print, with a Dutch phone number and not much else about who runs it, prices in euros: €35, €55 and €65 for small, medium and large, and €20 for a digital file, on what it calls museum-quality paper with archival inks. It takes a Strava connection or a GPX from anything, names Garmin Connect specifically, and is happy with trail runs, gravel, hiking, mountain biking and canoeing as well as road. Standard shipping is free to every country, with nine including the UK and US on predefined services and the rest calculated at checkout, and it is the only poster maker here to publish production and transit as one figure: one to three business days to make it and two to five in transit, three to eight all in. The exact dimensions of the three sizes only load once you’re in the editor.
Majorfeat
Majorfeat, a French company, goes bigger than anyone else: any size from A4 to A0, plus the standard frame sizes from 30 by 40 up to 70 by 100 centimetres, framed or not, from €29.99. It also solves a problem the others don’t. If the thing you want on the wall is a race you ran before you owned a watch, you can pick the course from its catalogue instead of uploading anything. The catalogue has 5Ks, marathons, ultras, gran fondos, the Ironman distances, open-water swims and swimrun, and a template for each.
Per-size prices and shipping regions only appear once you’re in the editor, and the company blog is unreachable, so give it a few extra weeks if there’s a birthday involved. Refunds are for damage or defects within 30 days, and you can cancel within an hour of ordering.
RunInk
RunInk is Strava only, no GPX, and it has one idea nobody else here does: a composite of every activity you’ve ever recorded in a city, drawn as one image, in thirteen themes. Single activities work too, and it now covers runs, rides and hikes. The digital file is free, emailed once per address, with a small RunInk credit in one corner. Prints are the paid product, priced with shipping included and made by Gelato in more than 30 countries: $25 for 30 by 40 centimetres, $35 for 40 by 60, $55 framed, $45 for 50 by 70 and $75 framed, in a black aluminium frame on matte paper. Its code still contains a leftover “print ordering opens soon” notice, which threw me for a minute, but nothing triggers it: the order button goes straight to checkout.
Books
AdvenBook
AdvenBook makes a printed A4 landscape book that alternates topographic route maps with full-page photos, from Strava, Garmin, Komoot, GPX files or manual entry, with photos from Google Photos or your phone. The express version needs a title and takes it from there; the custom version lets you reorder, add dedication pages and edit the text and maps. It suggests organising them by year or season.
Prices are in euros and include delivery anywhere: a 24-page book is €39 spiral bound, €40 softcover or €45 hardcover, and a hardcover scales to €70 at up to 50 pages, €95 to 100, and €158 at up to 400. It sells only printed books, with no subscription, prints them through Lulu in three to five business days, and quotes three to ten days for delivery. It’s one person’s business in the French Basque Country and the only one here with a 30-day refund even if you simply don’t like the result.
trainingsparkle
For a full-length book, trainingsparkle is the cheaper one. A 75-page hardcover is $59, the premium edition at $64 adds a year review, a custom cover and your own quote, and a PDF of the same 75 pages is $8, which is the least expensive way in this post to get a year of training into one document. It reads Strava, including private activities, or Garmin, with photos uploaded by hand, and each activity gets its title, description, date, route and heart rate or power. Shipping isn’t included and the site doesn’t say where it ships or how long it takes. The gift voucher prints a personal message inside the book. Its copyright notices stop at 2025, so email them before you buy it as a present.
The postcard
Kudos Post is the cheapest way to make a Strava activity physical, and the direction matters: you pick one of your own runs, rides, hikes or triathlons, and it mails a postcard to someone else. Choose a photo overlay, a pace map or an elevation profile, and it goes out on what Kudos Post calls premium cardstock for $4.99 with postage to more than 245 countries included, or you buy the PNG for $1.99. The recipient needs no account and no app. Five to seven business days domestically, ten to twelve abroad, and there are templates for a first marathon, a PR and a century ride.
The free one
Mythic Maps doesn’t print anything. It takes an activity, draws the route as an illustrated map in what it counts as 35-odd styles (I found about fifteen distinct templates in its code, most with a flat and a 3D version), uploads the image to the activity on Strava, and renders a short video you can share. Each map spends a diamond. You get some for joining, then earn more by registering your email, joining its Strava club, publishing or sharing maps, hitting checkpoints in its route challenges and inviting friends. I found no way to buy them. Its front page now leads with a different job, fixing indoor rides from Zwift that upload with no map, with ROUVY and MyWhoosh marked coming soon, and that fix is always free too.
Two more, with a catch each
Loopie, in Harrogate, makes giclée prints on Hahnemühle paper, digital from £30 and prints from £35, ships free to the UK, EU and US, and frames worldwide, though its premium spacer frame is UK only. But it isn’t a Strava app. You paste Strava or Garmin links at checkout or email GPX files, a person builds it, and a proof comes back in about two days. Heartbeat Prints in Denmark prints your Strava year onto a mug, 249 kroner with free shipping, and the 2025 mug went on sale on 1 January 2026. Its terms only describe delivery within Denmark, though the shop takes euros and dollars, so ask before ordering from elsewhere.
What I left out
WayZada, which made 3D prints of thru-hikes, is gone; the domain is parked. Maprides says its customisation tool is down and it cannot take orders. KeepRunning.co quotes by email rather than publishing prices. Cartorion is a bare app shell with nothing to date it beyond a copyright line that starts in 2019. Sports Metrics, Velographic and Probe make share images and yearly graphics rather than anything printed, and belong in a different post.
Common questions
Which Strava poster app is cheapest?
For a physical object, Kudos Post mails a postcard of one activity for $4.99 including postage, which is a different product but the lowest price here. For a poster, RunInk starts at $25 for 30 by 40 centimetres with shipping included, Cadence Prints at $29 for 12 by 16 inches with free shipping, Paper Trails at £23 for an A4 plus shipping at cost, and Majorfeat from €29.99 with shipping unstated. Digital files run from $1.99 at Kudos Post to £18 at Paper Trails. RunInk’s digital file and Mythic Maps’ art are free.
Can I order one for someone else without their Strava login?
Yes, three ways. Cadence Prints sells a gift card that emails a code and a note, so they build it themselves. trainingsparkle’s voucher prints your message inside the book and can be delivered to them. Kudos Post works the other way round: you make a postcard from your own activity and it mails it to them, and they need no account. Loopie and English Cyclist will also work from a GPX you send, if you can get one.
Do I need to connect Strava, or can I upload a GPX?
Most take either. Cadence Prints, Paper Trails, English Cyclist, Outdoor Art Print and Majorfeat connect to Strava or accept GPX files. AdvenBook adds Garmin, Komoot and GPX; trainingsparkle is Strava or Garmin only. RunInk, Kudos Post and Mythic Maps are Strava only. Loopie has no Strava connection at all: you give it Strava links or GPX files and a person builds the print.
Can I put a whole year of runs on one poster?
Yes. Cadence Prints builds a heatmap-style print from as many activities as you like, Paper Trails puts multiple routes on one sheet, and RunInk has a mode that draws every activity you have done in a city into one composite. For a year in book form, that is AdvenBook or trainingsparkle.
How long do they take to arrive?
Outdoor Art Print says three to eight business days in total. AdvenBook prints in three to five business days and quotes three to ten days for delivery. Paper Trails takes 48 to 72 hours to produce and two to fifteen business days to deliver depending on the country. English Cyclist dispatches posters in one to two days and framed prints in five to seven, then four to seven business days to Europe and North America and three to eight elsewhere. Kudos Post postcards take five to seven business days domestically and ten to twelve abroad. Cadence Prints and Majorfeat don’t state a time.
Can I return a custom print?
Almost never for change of mind, and most sites say so. Personalised goods are exempt from change-of-mind returns under UK and EU rules and the US makers apply the same policy. AdvenBook is the exception, with a 30-day reprint or refund even if you simply don’t like the result. Damaged or defective prints are reprinted or refunded, typically if you report it within 30 days. Check the preview carefully before you pay.
