Christmas Gifts for Runners — A Print of Their Year, Their Race, Their Miles

December is when a running year finally has a shape, and when Strava's Year in Sport lands in their feed. The Year in Motion print puts that year on the wall: one square a day. The race print does the same for the day they will remember. And a voucher, sent by email, works at 11pm on the 24th.

The Year in Motion print

The year

Year in Motion is 365 squares, one per day, shaded by how far they went, blank where they rested. It is the print people make when the year is done; ordered in December it shows the year to date, ordered in January it shows all of it. Both are true.

The race

If they ran a marathon this year, the Marathon Print is the one. Their own Strava run, recognised as the race, drawn on the course with the time and the splits. That needs a voucher, below, unless you buy the Course Print of the race itself, which needs nothing from them.

Order dates

Prints are made to order in the United Kingdom and posted tracked. For UK delivery before Christmas, order by the date the product page shows in December; it counts working days and the courier's own cutoff, and it is honest. Overseas, add a week. A gift voucher arrives by email within minutes, any day, any hour.

Under £25

The unframed A3 of any style is £19.95, and it rolls in a tube. The Photo Print of their race photograph is the same price unframed.

Can I give a print of a year that has not ended?

Yes; it draws the year to date. Many people give the voucher at Christmas and the runner orders in January, once the last square is in.

Will it arrive in time?

The product page shows the arrival date before you pay, and it is calculated, not promised. If it says the 23rd, it means the 23rd.

What if they run and cycle?

Year in Motion counts every activity; filter it to running alone or leave everything in, which is what a triathlete's looks like.

How it works

From the Studio to your wall in three steps.

The Heatmap print: a year of London runs layered into one map of familiar roads
Step 01

Choose your subject

Connect Strava in one tap for a race, a ride or a whole year. Or search for a place, type a postcode for your street on the old Ordnance Survey, or add a photograph — none of those needs an account.

The Contours print: a year of runs drawn as density contours, the ground darkest where the miles repeat
Step 02

Choose your style

Start from a finished design and make it yours: the words, the colours, the size. Twenty-three styles for your own miles, four treatments for a place, six layouts for a photograph, and the old survey as drawn or in your colours.

The Distance rings print: one ring for every activity of the year, the longer arcs the longer days
Step 03

We print and frame it

Pick a frame, check out, and it is printed to order on fine-art paper, framed by hand and posted to you, tracked.
