About Sportymaps' running, cycling, hiking and triathlon course posters

Sportymaps was founded in 2015 by designer and passionate runner Guus van Zeeland. Combining a love for design with a passion for running felt like a natural fit — and after countless ideas, sketches, and prototypes, the very first minimalist course poster was born.

What started as a simple black or white line tracing a race route quickly became something much more meaningful. Every line represents a personal journey: the training, the struggle, the atmosphere, and the moment you crossed the finish line. To some, it may look like (very) minimalist wall art. To you, it tells the story of an unforgettable achievement.

Designed to fit beautifully into any interior, every Sportymaps poster combines clean design with personal customization. Add your name, finish time, event details, and choose colors that perfectly match your style and space.
