Backcountry Rise 50K, 20M, Half Marathon – Course Maps

These three maps offer runners an overview of the 50K, 20 mile, and half marathon courses for Daybreak Racing's Backcountry Rise trail running races. Taking cues from the race’s previously established brand, I created the map’s color palette, icons, styling for the basemap, directionals, elevation profile, and overall layout. The GIS wizards at Wonderland Mapping provided the data as a starting point for the visual design.

Single-loop courses allowed for visual segmentation by color between aid stations so runners can easily relate each section of the course to where it falls on the elevation profile.
