Event + run course map designs.

This project was about much more than creating a couple of maps.

When the team behind Run for Orla approached Puro Design to create the event precinct map and run course map, it was immediately clear that this was a community event built on love, remembrance and a desire to make a difference. We chose to support the cause by becoming an event sponsor, contributing our design services to help bring the event to life.

The scope was to create two maps that were clear, engaging and easy to navigate on event day. The precinct map needed to guide participants through a busy event space, highlighting facilities, activities, support services and key amenities. The course map needed to clearly communicate both the 3km and 10km routes while maintaining consistency with the Run for Orla branding.

Using a clean, accessible layout and custom illustrated mapping, we developed a set of event graphics that balanced practical wayfinding with visual appeal. The final designs help participants quickly understand where they needed to be, where services were located, and how to confidently follow their chosen course along the beautiful waterfront route.

Projects like this are a reminder that great design isn’t always about selling a product or promoting a business. Sometimes it’s about supporting a community, honouring a meaningful cause and helping create an experience that brings people together.

Need maps or event signage that are both beautiful and easy to use?
