Client Story

Swiss Alps 100

Helping Runners Visualize the Challenge

When Jakob Herrmann, Race Director of the Swiss Alps 100, first saw a rough Mapdirector flyover of his 50KM course, he immediately recognized the impact it could have. Not just on his race, but on every runner who signs up for the challenge. "This is exactly what I was looking for," he told us.

In ultra-running, preparation is everything. With steep ascents, remote aid stations, and over 10,000 meters of elevation gain across the longest course, the Swiss Alps 100 isn't a race you take lightly.

"The flyovers help my athletes prepare; and they help me attract more of them. It's hands-down one of the most useful and beautiful animations I've ever used for our race."
Jakob Herrmann, Founder & Race Director, Swiss Alps 100

Course Visualization

For each race, we created two video formats that do double duty: helping seasoned runners prepare for race day, and attracting new participants by showcasing the magic of the course.

Widescreen Flyovers

Cinematic overview for course pages and YouTube, designed to walk runners through the experience in detail.

Mobile-Optimized Vertical Videos

Built for Mobile platforms like Youtube Shorts, Instagram and TikTok with fast-paced energy and dramatic elevation visualization.

Detailed Course Information

Visualizes terrain profile, aid stations, pacer zones, drop bags, and cutoffs for strategic planning.

Dual-Purpose Content

Serves as both a preparation tool for experienced runners and a marketing asset to attract new participants.
