The gift for a runner, ready tonight

Their marathon,
on the coffee table.

The birthday is tomorrow and you want something that is actually about them. Give the book of their marathon: their photos, their finish time, the city that carried them. Your gift card arrives the moment you pay, ready to print or forward tonight.

  • Instant to give. A beautiful card with their code, on screen and by email.
  • Truly personal. Their own photos, result and words, in a layflat hardcover.
  • No work for you. They choose the photos; we check every page and print it.

You have probably considered

Another medal hanger?
Another pair of socks?

A medal hanger

They already have one. It holds the medal, not the memory.

Socks, gels, a gadget

Useful for a month. Nothing about this race, or this runner.

A framed photo

One moment, if you even have the photo. You weren’t at every mile.

The book of their race

Every mile, their photos, their time, and the people who cheered. Given tonight, kept for years.

Why it feels different in your hands

Printed right across the spread.

Layflat binding opens completely flat. Their race-day photo runs edge to edge across both pages, with nothing lost in the fold, the way a photograph deserves to be seen.

  • Layflat hardcover, 21 × 21 cm
  • 190gsm photo paper, rich colour and detail
  • Matte-laminated cover with their photo

How it works

Give it tonight.
They make it theirs.

  1. 1

    Buy the card

    Two minutes, secure payment. Your card opens instantly to print or forward.

  2. 2

    They create their book

    They add photos from their phone or computer, and change any words they like. Signature: we make it together.

  3. 3

    We check, print and deliver

    Every page reviewed by hand. They approve the proof, then it is printed and delivered.

Questions before you give it.

How fast do I get the gift?

Straight away. The moment you pay, your gift card opens on screen with its code, ready to print, save as a PDF or forward. A receipt also arrives by email.

When does the printed book arrive?

After the runner has chosen their photos and approved the full proof. We confirm the delivery date at that point. The card is what you give on the day; the book follows.

Do I need their photos or race result?

No. The runner adds their own photos, result and words in our guided builder, from a computer or their phone. You only choose the gift and write the card.

What is the difference between the two gifts?

The Finisher Book is designed by the runner with our guided builder, and we check every page. The Signature Book is made with them: a one-to-one design session, their story written from their memories, messages from friends and family, and a second copy. Signature books are limited to 150 a month so each one gets proper time.

Which marathons?

The Signature Book works for any marathon in the world: we design it with the runner around their own race. The Finisher Book is designed for the New York City Marathon, with more races coming.

How long is the card valid, and can I get a refund?

The card is valid for 12 months from purchase. Until it has been redeemed, you can get a full refund at any time in those 12 months: email support@pilgrit.com with your code.
