Christmas Gifts for Runners
The best Christmas gift for a runner is the one they'd never buy themselves. They'll replace their own trainers. They won't frame their own medal. Here are five ways to put the race on the wall, from £20 to £68, each personalised with their route, name and finish time and made to order in the UK.
Framed route map print, from £20
Route map and medal frame, from £50
Route map, photo and medal frame, from £65
Race bib and medal frame, from £28
The two-frame set: map and medal, plus bib and photo, from £68
1. Their route, framed (from £20)
Every runner can trace their race from memory: the hill at mile nine, the corner where the family stood. This is that route as a print, framed and ready to hang, with their name, time and date underneath. It works for any run, from parkrun to an ultra. For the big events we already hold the course; for anything else, a Strava link or GPX file does it.
The route you ran, printed as a map with your name and time, framed and ready to hang. Popular with partners and parents looking for a present for someone who ran a race, and with runners marking a first run, a PB, a comeback or a charity run. Made to order in the UK, self-fit, and made from your own route. A drawer is not where this belongs.
Any run, any distance: a first parkrun, a 10k, a marathon or a route that only means something to you. Send us your Strava or GPX file and we will map it exactly as you ran it, with your name, time and date wherever you want them.
Create a personalised route map print for your own run. Professionally printed on photographic-grade paper, and framed if you choose the framed option.
- 2 size options
- 3 wood frame options
- Unlimited map colours
- Orientated to best suit your route
About the glazing: our frames are glazed with optical-grade plexiglass rather than glass. It is the same kind of optical acrylic used for spectacle lenses and museum display cases, chosen because it is optically clear, UV-protective and shatter-resistant. It performs exactly as glass does in front of your map and photo; the only difference you will notice is that it will not break in the post or on the wall.

3. Route, photo and medal (from £65)

4. Race bib and medal (from £28)
The bib is the bit that was actually there: pinned on, rained on, creased in four places. Framed with the medal, it's the simplest way to mark a race, and the one to pick if they've run something small and local that still mattered.
Your race bib and medal, framed together. The two things you carried across the line. Popular with partners and parents looking for a present for someone who ran a race, and with runners marking a first run, a PB, a comeback or a charity run. Made to order in the UK, and self-fit. A drawer is not where this belongs.
Any race, any distance: the bib you pinned on and the medal or photo you came home with, framed together. No map, no route file needed; just fit them at home.
Create a personalised race bib and medal display for your own run. Precision-cut archival mountboard, framed as standard.

Questions people ask about this frame
What's a good gift for someone who just ran a race?
This: everything from race day - map, medal, bib and photo - in two matching frames. It's the thing they won't buy for themselves.
Do I need to send you the medal, the bib or the photo?
No. Everything is self-fit at home, and you can add our print & fit service for the photo at checkout.
Can I order it as a gift before they've run?
Yes. Order now and email us the finish time and photo after race day; we hold production until we have them.
Can you map any route?
Yes. If you have a Strava link, a GPX, KML or Garmin file, or a race name and year, we can map it.
What if I have their Strava route rather than the official course?
Send us the GPX file or a Strava link and we'll use their actual route.
How long does it take?
Free UK delivery in 10-14 days including making time, or 2-3 days on the express service if you're up against it.
Will the medal fit?
The opening is 10cm x 17cm, or 12cm x 19cm with the rear mount removed, which fits the vast majority of race medals.
Will the race bib fit?
The viewable area is 19cm x 19cm and the aperture takes larger and smaller bibs; see the bib fitting guide.
Do you make other medal frames?
Yes, with a route map, a photo, a race bib or a second medal. See all our medal display frames.
Is this a good Christmas gift for a runner?
Yes. It's personal, it arrives framed and ready to hang, and they won't have bought it for themselves. It's one of five in our Christmas gifts for runners guide.
All of our running gifts and medal frames are made from customers' route data and personalisation requests.
Not sure which race, or which frame?
A gift card lets them choose the layout, colours and wording themselves. It's an instant download from £25, which also makes it the answer on Christmas Eve.
You can also browse by event: marathons, half marathons, triathlons and cycling, or see all medal display frames.
More ideas: gifts for marathon runners and post-marathon gift ideas.
Ordering for Christmas
Every frame is made to order. Free UK delivery takes 10 to 14 days including making time, so ordering by the first week of December keeps you clear of the Christmas post. Faster options at checkout bring that down to 2 to 3 days. Every order comes gift wrapped and can be sent straight to them.
Questions people ask
Do I need their medal?
No. The frame arrives with a self-fit opening and they fit the medal at home, like putting a photo in a frame.
What if I don't know their finish time?
Order now and send it later. We hold the frame until you've emailed the details. Most results are public, so the race name and their surname is often enough to find it.
Do I need a GPS file?
Not for the major events; we hold thousands of routes. For anything else, a Strava link or GPX file works, and if we can't make your map, you don't pay.
What can I have printed on it?
Up to three lines of text. Name, time and date are the usual three, but a dedication works just as well.
Which frame colours are there?
Black, white or oak frames, with a white or black mount.
