About us
LAYR is built by two friends who met while studying Game Development in Frankfurt. Since then, we’ve spent years building side projects together. This one just happened to become a real company.
We’re still a team of two. Max runs LAYR from Prague, Patrick from near Frankfurt. We both have full-time jobs, so every map is designed, printed, assembled, packed, and shipped in our spare time. No warehouse. No production line. Just us.
How It Started
LAYR began with a single race.
After finishing the Karlovy Vary Half Marathon, Max designed a 3D map of the course to capture more than just the finish line. It showed the actual terrain, the route, and every climb that made the achievement worth remembering.
At the finish, while taking a photo, a stranger walked over and asked:
“Where can I order one?”
There wasn’t an answer, because LAYR didn’t exist yet.
That moment convinced us it should.
Today, our idea is still the same: your medal proves you finished. Your map tells the story of how you got there. Every hill. Every kilometer. Every finish line earned.
And because one race rarely stays your last, our maps are designed to grow into a collection of your running journey.
What We Do
Max creates the maps and oversees every print. Patrick builds everything behind the scenes, from the website to the configurator that lets you design your own map in minutes.
Choose from hundreds of marathon and half-marathon routes or upload your own GPX file. Customize the design, add your stats, and preview everything in real time before ordering.
Made Responsibly
Every relief is printed from 100% recycled PLA. Every map is made to order, so nothing is produced unless someone wants it. Our packaging is recycled and completely plastic-free.
Small team. Thoughtfully made. Built for runners who know every finish line has a story.
If you’re ready to put yours on the wall, we’d love to make it for you.
