They earned the memory.
Let them make it their own.
Their details. Their style.
Participants add their name, bib number, finish time, and a personal message, then choose colors and a layout that feel like them.
You share. They create.
Add a link to Mapform in the emails you already send. Participants create, purchase, and download their own artwork—you do not need to collect orders or personalize each map.

The participant chooses whether to purchase. No map is included with race registration.
How do I offer this to our participants?
Include a link to the Mapform Race creator in your registration confirmation and post-race emails. Participants follow the link and create their own keepsake. You send the emails through your existing email service; no registration-platform integration is required to share a link.
Who creates and pays for the map?
The participant personalizes, saves, and purchases their own design directly on Mapform. It is an optional gift to themselves, not a free race benefit or an item included in registration. Organizers do not need to purchase maps for the field.
What does the participant’s $12 purchase include?
One credit for one exact saved design, downloadable as a 300-DPI PNG and a print-ready PDF. A different personalized design needs another credit or an eligible subscription. Printing and framing are separate purchases.
How will participants get the right course?
Share an authorized GPX or TCX file or a download link for your event’s correct year and distance alongside the creator link. Participants can upload that file in the Race editor. A general creator link does not automatically load your course or their race results. Test the workflow with your course before emailing participants.
Which events is this for?
Marathons, half-marathons, 5K and 10K runs, cycling events, trail races, and other route-based events. Participants can customize the event name and distance after uploading a compatible course file.
Do I need to send Mapform our participant list or results?
No. For this link-sharing workflow, you keep your mailing list in your own email service. Participants enter their own details in Mapform. There is no automatic results import, participant-list upload, or race-map batch fulfillment included.
Are physical prints shipped to participants?
No. Mapform provides digital downloads. Participants arrange their own printing and framing. Make this clear in your email so they know what they are purchasing.
Can these maps replace official course or safety maps?
No. They are commemorative artwork, not certified course measurements, navigation aids, or event safety documents. Verify the displayed route and distance independently.
