What is Strava Art?

Strava Art (or GPS Art) transforms the world into a canvas. By carefully planning a route, runners creating shapes, animals, text, or even marriage proposals that appear when their GPS track is uploaded to a map.

How to Do It

1. Plan: Use a route builder (Strava, Garmin, Google Maps) to trace your design.
2. Run: Follow the route precisely.
3. Pause: Pause your watch if you need to cross a section without "drawing" (though true purists run the continuous line).

Famous Examples

• The "Frida Kahlo" cyclist.
• Runners drawing intricate holiday greetings.
• The occasional (and inevitable) giant phallic symbol.
