Frequently asked

Sizes, paper, delivery and personalisation. Anything not covered here — hello@urbanlines.co.uk, usually answered within one business day.

What sizes do marathon route prints come in?

Six sizes: A4 (21×29.7cm), A3 (29.7×42cm), A2 (42×59.4cm), A1 (59.4×84.1cm), 18"×24" (45×61cm), 24"×36" (61×91cm). A2 is the most popular — large enough for a 26.2-mile course to stay legible with personalised text beneath it, without dominating a wall.

How much does a marathon route print cost?

Marathon route prints run from £34 for A4 to £64 for A1 or 24×36in. City running maps run from £29 to £59. Every print is made to order; prices include VAT where applicable.

What paper are the prints made on?

Every print is produced on archival giclée fine art stock — a cotton-pulp paper chosen for depth of black and longevity rather than gloss. It is the only stock offered, so the size you pick is the only thing that changes the price.

What can I personalise on the print?

Your name, your finish time, the race date and your bib number. You choose the palette and size as well. The route itself is drawn from the verified official course, so the map is accurate to the race you actually ran.

How long does delivery take?

Prints are made to order. UK delivery is 3–6 business days, Europe and the United States 5–9 business days, and Canada and Australia 7–12 business days. Rest of world is 7–14 business days.

How much is shipping?

UK shipping starts at £3.15, Europe at £5.58 and the United States at £4.68. Canada, Australia and the rest of the world are quoted by destination at checkout, since cost depends on the size of the print.

Can I return a print?

Because each poster is custom-made to your specification, we cannot accept returns for a change of mind — this is permitted under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (Regulation 28(1)(b)) for bespoke goods.

What if my print arrives damaged or misprinted?

Contact hello@urbanlines.co.uk within 14 days of receipt with photographs. If a print arrives damaged in transit, has a quality defect, or does not match what you ordered, it is reprinted and reshipped at no cost.

Which marathons can I get a print of?

We hold verified course data for 442 races across 65 countries — 309 marathons and 133 half marathons. Twenty-five have ready-made editions with their own artwork, including London, Berlin, Boston, New York and Tokyo; the rest are built in the route configurator. The full list is on the races page.

Do you do half marathon prints?

Yes. We hold course data for 133 half marathons alongside 309 marathons. Half marathon routes are drawn the same way and cost the same as a marathon print of the same size. Search for your race in the configurator, or browse the full list on the races page.

Where are the prints made?

In our London studio. Each one is printed after it is ordered rather than held in stock, which is why the route, palette and personalised text can be set per print instead of chosen from a fixed range.
