GPS Art

We at SufferHub have always been big fans of Strava – they weren’t the first company to enable…

At the end of the rainbow. ~33,1km of GPS coordinated RGB pixels on digital file. By me, 2013. 

Now, I didn't leave Facebook for nothing: I was pretty tired of sharing stuff (about) myself and digesting everything my friends and "friends" were sharing.

But I am just too damn proud of this figure I ran!

FigureRunning is a new sport that uses GPS technology to allow runners to be creative and draw images based on their runs.  Check out the Olympic rings above.

Op 27 juli beginnen de Olympische Spelen in London met een spectaculaire openingsceremonie. Het NAi is die dag de arena voor sporten die iets hebben met de stad en architectuur, zoals skateboarden, freerunning en BMX, maar ook petanque en figurerunning (een figuur rennen met behulp van je smartphone).

Je kan komen kijken naar demonstraties, meedoen aan sporten en spelletjes en de Olympische Spelen bekijken op een groot scherm.

De Stadsspelen Rotterdam zijn een samenwerking van:

Spring has definitely sprung nice and early in these "arctic" Midwestern climes--which means it's time to dust off our outdoor gear and take to the trails, roads, off-roads and waters. And if you're a runner, who says your routines have to be boring.

Just follow the link and you'll discover three ways to spice up your running ambitions with a healthy dose of creativity.

1) A national touring extravaganza focused more on color than competition, The Color Run is a 5K race in which runners start out in white attire. As they approach each "Color Run Zone," they're doused in a cloud of lemony yellow, candy-apple green or aquamarine blue. By the time they finish the race, their white threads look like tie-died works of art. And then the whole things caps off with a gleeful dance party in the street.

2) Then there's the new branded FigureRunning, which is an unexpected hybrid of jogging and drawing--at the same time. With the use of an iPhone app, runners can track their runs so that their paths actually become drawings on the GPS-enabled map. And of course, runners can share their masterpieces via social networks.

3) If you're a Nike+ fan, then you can get in on some seriously creative, interactive design fun through the Nike+City Run platform. Partnering with an interactive design firm, Nike chronicled the footsteps of runners in New York City, London and Tokyo in 3D animations that tracked their routes. Using the same concept, Nike held a Paint With Your Feet workshop that let runners "create keepsake artwork of artistically plotted Nike+ data gathered from their runs, including speed, consistency, and movement style."
