Everything from the Great North Run in two matching frames: the route map and your medal in one, your race bib and photo in the other, with your name and finish time. Popular with partners and parents looking for a present for someone who ran the Great North Run, and with runners marking a first half marathon, a PB, a comeback or a charity run. Made to order in the UK, self-fit, and works for any year of the event. A drawer is not where this belongs.
The Great North Run is the world's biggest half marathon, from Newcastle over the Tyne Bridge and out through Gateshead to the seafront finish at South Shields, with the Red Arrows overhead. Our map shows all 13.1 miles (21km) of it, with your name, finish time and race date wherever you want them.
Create a personalised route map, medal, race bib and photo display for the Great North Run. Professionally printed on photographic-grade paper and framed as standard. Two matching frames: one for the map and medal, one for the race bib and photo. Priced as a pair, so it costs less than buying the two frames separately.
- 3 wood frame options
- 2 mountboard colour options
- Unlimited map colours
- Optional photo resize, print & fit (see photo sizing)
- Personalised text - 3 lines available
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.
