For race organisers · 2027 season

The medal goes in a drawer.
Your course stays on the wall.

We turn a race course into a real 3D relief, framed and ready to hang — with the name of your race on it. Paid for by the runner, not by you.

What we make

A course you can run a finger over.

ESA satellite elevation data becomes real landscape: every climb of the course as a relief you can feel, with the route raised above the terrain. Underneath sits a printed poster with the runner's name, finish time and elevation gain. It hangs on a wall or stands on a shelf — and it is the one thing from race day that doesn't end up in a box.

  • Material100% recycled PLA, real wood frame, plexiglass front
  • DataElevation from ESA Copernicus · streets and water from OpenStreetMap
  • Format21 × 30 cm framed today; larger and smaller formats coming

Who we are

Two friends, one apartment in Prague.

Max and Patrick met studying Interactive Animation in Frankfurt. Patrick built the 3D configurator; Max prints, frames and packs every single piece by hand. Not a warehouse, not a print farm — the corner of a Prague apartment, next to two full-time jobs.

It started at the Karlovy Vary Half Marathon in May 2026. Max made two maps as a gift for his fiancée and her friend. Roughly a hundred metres past the finish, a stranger who had watched them take a photo walked over and asked where she could buy one for her husband. That was before LAYR existed.

What we offer your race

Three steps. Plus one that comes first.

Every step has to pay off for you, or it isn't worth doing. Before any of the three, there is one that costs nothing at all.

No obligation · nothing expected in return

Your course. Built, framed, shipped — at our cost.

Your own course, fully framed and on your desk within 14 days — the exact piece your runners would buy. No contract, no condition attached. If you don't like it, you keep it anyway.

Step 1 · Podium award

Maps for your winners, on us.

The winners of your main categories get their own course as a trophy: six pieces, made and paid for by us. We add each winner's name and finish time after the race.

Your effort: one email.
Step 2 · Finisher email

A perk for your runners, without selling.

You drop a discount code into your finisher mailing — we write the wording. You sell nothing and are liable for nothing. You simply pass a benefit on.

Your effort: one line.
Step 3 · Official finisher map

A design only your race has.

An exclusively licensed design in your colours, approved by you, available nowhere else. The design work is ours. On request, a stand at your expo — we pay the exhibitor fee like everyone else.

Your effort: two approvals.
What you get
  • Six podium awards a winner actually keeps — your cost: €0
  • A design that exists at your race and nowhere else
  • A product you never stock, never ship and never answer for
  • A sponsor category none of your existing partners occupy
  • A benefit you can hand to every finisher
Honestly calculated

No money moves — in either direction. What we get out of it: access to runners who ran exactly this course. That is why we carry the cost and the risk.

What you're thinking right now

“This is going to be work.”
One email, one logo file, one approval — around 30 minutes. Complaints come to us, not to your office.

“What about data protection?”
You send the code yourself, on your own legal basis. We never need addresses or timing data.

“My sponsors, my brand.”
Your course stays yours: without your approval we don't sell it. Breakage we replace without asking, and an informal withdrawal stops the sale within 48 hours.

Yours would be one of our first partner races — the only advantage we can honestly promise.
