Physical relief maps for the races, rides and adventures that deserve more than another saved activity. Start with the 4Islands collection or send your own GPX route.
4 islands. 5 stages. One route worth seeing every day.
The climb you almost walked. The wind that would not stop. The section where your legs finally came back. The view you only reached because you kept moving. A route is not just a line, and a finisher memory should not look generic.
Each map begins with geographic elevation data and the route that matters to you. The landscape is shaped into a balanced relief composition, then the course is placed across the same ridges, valleys and coastlines you crossed.
The result is a physical record of place and effort. It works as wall art, but its meaning comes from the exact kilometres represented on it.
How custom route maps work
The idea began with my own 4Islands experience. I came away with photographs, a GPS trace stored in an app and a head full of moments that were difficult to explain to anyone who had not been there.
What stayed with me was not only the distance. It was the geography. Exposed limestone above Baška, the sea always appearing beside the trail, ferries moving the race from one island to the next, long remote sections and the strange contrast between a beautiful Adriatic view and a course that keeps asking for more.
I wanted a memory that showed both the line we rode and the ground that made it hard. That thought became the first Finisher Map. The route was no longer buried in an activity feed. It sat across the real relief of the islands, with every coastline, ridge and stage still visible.
Finisher Maps now exists for other riders, runners and teams who feel the same way. You do not need to win a race for it to matter. Finishing the challenge you trained for is enough.
Made by a rider at Bearhill Lab, for people who remember every hard kilometre.
Choose one island or build the complete connected collection. Each tile follows the 2026 route across Krk, Cres, Unije and Lošinj.
Four modular island tiles covering all five stages of the 2026 race. Connectors are included, so the collection can be joined, separated and rearranged whenever you want a different composition.
Start with the stage or island that means the most to you. Every individual tile belongs to the same modular 2026 collection, so you can add the others later.
Every tile uses the same compatible connector system. Join the complete collection into one display, change the order and shape to suit your space, or show individual islands separately.
The system remains expandable, too. Start with one island and connect the others later without replacing the tile you already own.

Create a custom 3D race route map for finisher awards, podium and category prizes, VIP packages or club milestones. It can also be included in the participant starter pack or offered during registration as an optional add-on, alongside choices such as jersey or T-shirt size. Every edition can use its own base shape, colours and team, club, sponsor or race branding. Contact us at least a few weeks before the event, and earlier for larger quantities.
