What size should you print a running or cycling poster?.
Posters from RouteToWall are vector, so they print perfectly crisp at any size — the only question is how much wall you want to fill. Here’s how the standard formats compare, and which suits which route.
When in doubt, A3 is the safe, popular choice; size up to A2 or A1 for a centrepiece.
The formats
- 01A4 — desk & gallery wallsA4
The smallest format, ideal on a desk, shelf or as part of a multi-frame gallery wall. Great for collecting several routes side by side.
210 × 297 mm - 02A3 — the popular choiceA3
The most-ordered size for a runner’s or cyclist’s home: big enough to read the line and stats, easy to frame off the shelf.
297 × 420 mm - 03A2 — across the wallA2
A step up that reads beautifully from across a room. The sweet spot for a single route you’re proud of.
420 × 594 mm - 04A1 — the statement pieceA1
The largest standard format and a true centrepiece. Best for a hero route — a first marathon, a big tour, a bucket-list climb.
594 × 841 mm - 05Panoramic — for road tripsPanoramic
A wide 1000 × 400 mm format built for long, horizontal lines: coast-to-coast road trips and point-to-point routes render far better than in portrait.

// FAQ
Q.01What is the best poster size for a marathon?
A3 is the most popular for a home; choose A2 or A1 if you want the race to be the centrepiece of the wall. All sizes stay sharp because the artwork is vector.
Q.02Will the poster look pixelated if I print it large?
No. RouteToWall artwork is vector, so it’s resolution-independent — an A1 print is exactly as crisp as an A4.
Q.03Which size is best for a road trip?
The panoramic format (1000 × 400 mm). Road trips are long and horizontal, so a wide frame shows the full line far better than a portrait size.
