This runner is turning 1,000 km of Strava data into 100 original artworks

July 29, 2026

Most of us upload an activity to Strava, hope for some kudos and move on. Irish artist Jennifer Madden is doing something different with hers. Madden is running 10 kilometres every day for 100 days, then turning each route into an original artwork.

By the end, the 100 Runs, 100 Drawings project will include 1,000 kilometres of running and 100 individual pieces. Each work is painted and drawn using colours and shapes influenced by that day’s weather, terrain and mood. Madden then hand-stitches her Strava route over the finished image. Canadian Running
