GPS art for charity runners

You name it. They run it.

Friends donate and name a shape. You draw it on your streets, run it, then hit them with a reveal made just for them. Sausage dogs, initials, the odd dinosaur.

Every penny goes straight to your charity's giving page.

How it works

Thirty seconds for your friend. One good run for you. A reveal nobody forgets.

  1. A friend names a shape

    They donate on your charity's giving page and tell you what to draw. No drawing skills, no app, no account.

  2. You draw it, then run it

    Sketch it on a map of your streets. We help you fit it to real streets and paths, then export a standard GPX route file for your watch. Then go and run it.

  3. They hold to reveal

    When you're done, they get a reveal made just for them: the run draws itself in, with your note and a poster to keep.

For runners

Your long run just got a plot.

You're running anyway. Turn your training into the most talked-about fundraiser in the group chat, with a studio built to make the drawing bit easy.

  • Sketch on the map. One finger, one line, right on your own streets.
  • Fit it to the streets. We help you fit it to real streets and paths, and tell you the distance.
  • Take it for a run. We export a standard GPX route file. Run it, then upload the original GPX or FIT file from your watch or app.
  • Posters that post themselves. Every reveal makes content for your page, and your friend's.

We never touch the money

Donations go straight to your charity's own giving page.

A reveal made for them

Every donor gets their own reveal: your note, the run drawing itself in, and a poster to keep. Even if your run's already on Strava.

Your streets stay yours

You choose what’s hidden: trim your start and finish and hide a zone around home. Hidden points are deleted, not covered up. Anyone with the link can view the reveal.

For charities

Got a team of marathon runners?

Give them something fun to ask for. Runner pages link straight to your existing giving pages, so nothing changes in your back office.

Fair questions

Do I have to draw anything?

No. You just name it. The runner does the drawing, the route and the running.

Where does my money go?

Straight to the charity through the runner's giving page. We never hold it.

What if my shape is really hard?

Streets aren't sketchbooks, so expect the runner's take on it. Wonky ears are part of the charm.

Do I need Strava?

No. Runners upload the original GPX or FIT file from their watch or running app.

Will it be a surprise?

Maybe not a total one: lots of watches post runs to Strava straight away. The reveal is still made for you, with their note, the run drawing itself in, and a poster to keep.

Got a place? Get drawing.

Agree a shape with a friend, draw it on your streets and run it. They get a reveal and a poster; the charity gets the money.
