A personal gift for a marathon runner
You saw the early starts. You waited at the finish. Give them a book that brings those moments back, in their photos and the words of the people who cheered.
You can give the card without their photos or finish time. They add those later, and approve the book before we print it.

For everything that brought them here
The early starts. The long runs. The people waiting at the barriers. Make a place for the moments that made this marathon theirs.
You bring the memories. We bring them together in a considered, photo-led design.
Made for your race
The Finisher Book is made for the New York City Marathon and the Málaga Marathon, with the course map, the stretches of the race and the words for each one. Choose a cover in black and white or in colour: the runner’s own photo goes on the right.

Beautiful photographs deserve room to breathe—and a book that feels good in your hands.
These are our selected print specifications. Our first print sample is still to be approved before we confirm orders. All product images are digital mockups of an illustrative 2026 sample, including AI-generated sample imagery.
From gift card to printed book
Choose a book and write a message. After checkout you can print the card or forward it to the runner.
They pick their photos and words in the Finisher builder. With Signature, we hear their story in a design session and put it together with them.
Once they approve the preview, we print the book and deliver it to their door. A gift to receive and enjoy after the race.

The card is for any time: before the race, at the finish or on their birthday. The book itself is made after the race, so it holds the training, race weekend and finish. They add the photos and result when they’re ready.

The gift buyer only writes the card. With Finisher, the runner chooses photos and edits any words they like. With Signature, we meet the runner and design the book with them. They approve every page before printing.
The card is instant: print it or forward it as soon as you’ve paid. The book is printed once the runner approves their preview, and we confirm the delivery window for their country with that preview. We aren’t promising a fixed delivery date yet.
No. The runner gives us the delivery address when they send their book for printing, so the gift can stay a surprise. With Signature, we agree where both copies go in the design session.
