Moscow Marathon Series maps and guidelines
There are six large annual running races in Moscow: ‘April’, Moscow Half‑Marathon, Color Run, Night Run, ‘Luzhniki’ Half‑Marathon and the Moscow Marathon itself. Thousands of participants of each race have to get their numbers, get to the starting position and run the marathon. Bureau Gorbunov designed twenty‑five maps in both English & Russian, and guidelines to facilitate creation of the future ones.
Routes go along beautiful streets and important Moscow landmarks. The map helps to get a good impression about the forthcoming races and attract runners:
The landmarks are drawn in a distinctive style.

The maps of the start area help runners find their starting position.

The routes and various facility positions often change. Sometimes this happens just a few days before the event. It’s important for the organizers to be able to quickly update the maps.
We created a construction kit that includes several information layers: basemaps in several zoom levels & styles, labels & captions, landmarks, pictograms, route lines for races & approach paths, and start positions designations.
