Every Mile Has a Story

Beyond the finish line,
the memory endures.

Every race represents early mornings, sore legs, quiet doubts, and the discipline to keep going anyway. Those moments deserve more than a medal in a drawer.

Stride Studio exists to transform that dedication into a keepsake worthy of your home — designed with the care of a fine object, made to be lived with for years.

Frequently Asked

Everything you need to know.

From frame sizes to grabbing your GPX file off your watch — here's how it all works.

What exactly do I receive?

+

A framed, ready-to-hang piece featuring your race route, event name, date, distance and finish time — printed and finished in our studio. Choose from three sizes: A4, A3 or A2.

What info do you need from me to make it?

+

Your race name, race date, distance, finish time and your GPS route file (a GPX, FIT, TCX or a public Strava activity link works). We'll confirm the design details with you before production.

How long does it take?

+

Most orders are crafted and dispatched within 7–10 working days from when we've confirmed your details. Delivery across South Africa typically adds 2–4 working days.

How do I download my GPX file from Strava?

+

On desktop (easiest):

  1. Log in at strava.com and open the activity.
  2. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the right.
  3. Select "Export GPX" — the file downloads automatically.
  4. Send that .gpx file to us with your order.

On mobile: the Strava app doesn't export directly — just send us the activity link (open the run → Share → Copy link) and we'll pull it for you.

How do I get the route file off my Garmin watch?

+

Two easy options:

  1. Garmin Connect (web): sign in at connect.garmin.com → open the activity → click the gear icon (top right) → "Export Original" for .FIT, or "Export to GPX".
  2. Garmin Connect app: open the activity → tap the three dots →"Send to Strava" or share the activity link with us.

How do I export a run from my Apple Watch?

+

Apple's Fitness app doesn't export GPX natively — the simplest route is a free companion app:

  1. Install HealthFit or RunGap from the App Store.
  2. Grant it access to Apple Health when prompted.
  3. Open the workout inside the app and choose Export → GPX.
  4. Share the file to us via WhatsApp or email.

If you also use Strava on your iPhone, your Apple Watch runs sync there automatically — then follow the Strava steps above.

What about Coros, Suunto, Polar, Fitbit or other watches?

+
  • Coros: Coros app → activity → three dots → Export → GPX/FIT.
  • Suunto: Suunto app → activity → share icon → Export as GPX. Or on web at suunto.com/move.
  • Polar: flow.polar.com → open session → gear icon → Export session (GPX).
  • Fitbit: fitbit.com → activity → gear icon → Export as GPX / TCX.
  • Any other device: if it syncs to Strava, just send us the Strava link — that's always the easiest path.

I don't have a GPS file — can you still make one?

+

Yes. If your race was on an official course (Comrades, Two Oceans, major city marathons, etc.) we can source the route ourselves. Just tell us the event, year and your finish time.

Which frame size should I choose?

+

A4 suits a desk or gallery grouping. A3 is our best seller — a confident feature piece for most walls. A2 is a bold statement for your most meaningful race.

Do you ship nationwide?

+

Yes — insured, tracked delivery across South Africa, packaged ready to gift or hang straight away.

How do I place an order?

+

Fill in the custom order form on this site, or call/WhatsApp Mario on 066 216 3999 to chat through your race first.
