Best Strava Art of 2024

This article explores some of the best Strava art—or GPS art—created in 2024. GPS Art combines creativity with fitness by transforming routes into visual masterpieces, so every piece below is also a real activity someone recorded.

The Ultimate Multi-Sport Strava Art

First, one piece of art we cannot leave out is an incredible project by Weiss Jean-Sébastien. Started four years ago, this masterpiece then had to be put on hold for two years due to an injury. Combining running, road biking, mountain biking, and swimming, it's a true testament to dedication and creativity. As a result, the picture is breathtaking! Well done, Jean-Sébastien, and thank you for motivating us all!

2024: The Year of Olympic Strava Arts

2024 was marked by the excitement of the Paris Olympic Games, and so GPS Art enthusiasts didn't miss the chance to connect their passion with this global event.

One standout project came from Guillaume Lazert, who completed the iconic Olympic rings across 30 cities in five countries: France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and Luxembourg. In total, this remarkable adventure covered 781 km and took an impressive 125 hours! Thank you for inspiring us all and bringing the Olympic spirit to life through GPS art!

(Note: He's a core GPSArtify user, and we couldn't be prouder 😍).

Similarly, another outstanding project that deserves recognition is a massive GPS artwork forming the Olympic rings by Guillaume Koudlansky de Lustrac and Vincent BRÉMOND. This ambitious creation spanned an incredible 2,196 km, took 96 hours to complete, and began and ended in Paris—the heart of the 2024 Olympic Games. The scale and dedication required for such a project are therefore truly inspiring. Well done!

World Map in Melbourne

It's not his first (and last) outstanding Strava Art, but Peter GPS Artist went viral with his impressive 169.6 km-long world map, which he ran over three consecutive days in Melbourne. He completed this incredible feat to celebrate his 50th birthday, so let's join together in wishing him good health and many more years ahead to continue inspiring us with his creativity and determination. Here's to the next 50 years of amazing GPS Art! 🎉🌍

Draw de France! (GPS Art)

Meanwhile, one of the most beautiful pieces from the Skoda Tour de France Strava Art competition is the masterpiece by GPS Art Star Nicolas Georgiou.

This creation stands out for its incredible detail over the streets of London. It also celebrates Mark Cavendish's record-breaking 35th Le Tour de France win—a momentous achievement in cycling history. Not only does this artwork pay tribute to a legendary athlete, but it also embodies the passion and spirit of the Tour itself. So what else can we say? Stunning work. 😍🚴‍♂️

King of the Dunes (Freestyle Strava Art)

Our favorite freestyle GPS Art this year, meanwhile, was the incredible work of Gustavo Lyra. What's the most fitting thing to draw on sand dunes? Of course, a camel! Gustavo's creativity and skill then brought this iconic desert animal to life, showcasing the endless possibilities of freestyle GPS Art. Thank you, Gustavo, for inspiring us all and pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with GPS Art. 🐪

Out of the League – Modern Strava Art

Just when we thought 2024 had given us all it could in Strava Art, Duncan McCabe turned the tables—literally.

Starting on January 1st, he ran a slightly different 10km route 118 times around Toronto to create an astonishing Strava Art animation. This groundbreaking project isn't just a work of art; rather, it's a game-changer. So are we witnessing the dawn of a new era in Strava Art? Duncan, you've set the bar sky-high! Bravo! 🎥🏃‍♂️✨

Keep in mind, this list is entirely subjective, because rating Strava art can be quite challenging. If you think we've missed a masterpiece, feel free to drop it in an email. And if you are looking for a shape to draw yourself, the Strava art ideas by shape page has a real route for each one.
