About HexFlex

What is HexFlex?

HexFlex turns your own running or cycling route into a personalised hexagonal keepsake.

Upload a GPX file from a completed activity, add the details that make the achievement yours and preview your design before ordering.

It is more than a map: it is a physical reminder of the route, effort and moment behind your achievement.

What types of achievements can I celebrate?

HexFlex is ideal for race finishes, personal bests, first long-distance events, charity challenges, favourite rides and memorable adventures.

You can create a keepsake from a 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, ultra, sportive or other GPS-recorded route.

GPX files and routes

What is a GPX file?

A GPX file is a standard file containing the GPS points recorded during an activity. It can store the route of a run, race, ride, walk or other GPS-tracked adventure.

Many running watches, cycling computers and activity apps allow you to export an activity as a GPX file.

How do I get my GPX file?

Look for an Export, Download or Export GPX option in the app or platform where your activity is stored.

The exact steps vary depending on the service or device you use. If you are unsure, contact us for help.

Can I use a route from a race?

Yes. HexFlex is ideal for race routes, including 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and longer-distance events.

You can add the event name, date, distance and finish time to help capture the achievement.

Can I use a screenshot instead of a GPX file?

No. The configurator needs a GPX route file to create the route artwork.

A screenshot, PDF, JPG or map link cannot be used in place of the GPX file.

What if my GPX file will not upload?

First, check that:

  • The file ends in .gpx.
  • You are uploading the original route file.
  • The file is from the activity you intended to use.
  • You have selected the file before continuing.

If the GPX file still will not upload, contact us with the file name and a description of the problem.

Design and personalisation

What can I personalise?

You can add:

  • Event or route name
  • Date completed
  • Distance
  • Finish time
  • Optional top-left label
  • Optional top-right label
  • Route colour
  • Frame colour

Please check spelling, dates, distance and time carefully before ordering.

How does the configurator work?

  1. Upload your GPX route.
  2. Add your event details and optional labels.
  3. Choose your route and frame colours.
  4. Frame the route in the hexagonal design.
  5. Preview your HexFlex before adding it to your basket.

Can I preview my design before ordering?

Yes. The configurator provides a preview of your route, labels, colours and framing before you add the item to your basket.

Please review the complete preview carefully, including spelling, dates, distances and times.

Can I choose the colours?

Yes. The configurator allows you to choose from the available route and frame colour options.

The exact appearance may vary slightly between screens and the finished product.

Pricing and ordering

How much does a HexFlex cost?

The standard price is £30.

Any available packages or bulk discounts will be shown separately once they are finalised.

How big is the finished HexFlex?

The finished HexFlex is approximately 180 mm wide × 160 mm high.

This is an approximate product dimension. Final manufacturing tolerances and specifications may vary slightly.

Can I order more than one HexFlex?

Yes. The basket is intended to support multiple personalised maps, with each design retaining its own route and details.

If you are ordering several maps for a club, team, charity or event, contact us to discuss your requirements.

Can I change my design after placing an order?

Contact us as soon as possible if you notice an error.

Because each HexFlex is personalised, changes may not be possible once production has started.

Gifts and group orders

Can I create a HexFlex as a gift?

Yes. HexFlex makes a personal gift for runners and cyclists, celebrating race finishes, personal bests, first long-distance events, charity challenges and favourite rides.

You will need the route and details required to create the recipient's design unless a separate gift option is offered.

Can I create a keepsake from someone else's route?

You can create a gift HexFlex if you have the recipient's GPX route and the details you want to include.

If you do not have their GPX file, contact us before ordering so we can confirm whether another gifting option is available.

Do you offer club, team or bulk orders?

We are developing package and bulk-order options for clubs, teams, events and larger groups.

Contact us with the approximate quantity, event date and any personalisation requirements. We will confirm the available options and pricing.

Delivery, changes and support

Where do you deliver?

HexFlex currently focuses on UK delivery.

Available delivery options and charges will be shown during checkout.

How long will my order take?

Your HexFlex is personalised and prepared after you place your order.

Dispatch and delivery timings will be shown at checkout or confirmed in your order information.

Can I cancel my order?

Contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel an order.

Personalised products may enter production shortly after ordering, so cancellation may not be possible once production has started.

Can I return a personalised HexFlex?

Because each product is made to your chosen route and details, personalised items may be subject to different return conditions from standard products.

If your item arrives damaged or there is a problem with the production quality, contact us with your order number and photographs so we can investigate.

What if I enter the wrong details?

Check every detail in the preview before ordering, especially the event name, date, distance, finish time and optional labels.

If you notice an error after ordering, contact us immediately. We will let you know whether a correction is still possible.

I still have a question. How can I contact you?

Visit our Contact page and send us a message.

For the fastest help, include your name, order number if relevant, the app or device used to record the route and a clear description of your question or problem.
