Patches and badges

The custom patch of every race, on your pack

Keep track of your adventures where they show: on your trail pack. Create the patch of your race or hike with its route, distance, year and your time, and build your collection.

Kiptrail patches from several races: round embroidered, hexagon, shield, badge

Every style

Embroidered, woven, printed, soft PVC or pin badge; round, shield, rectangle or hexagon; with the edge of your choice.

Your race's route

Race name, year, distance, elevation gain and your time are added automatically, with the route drawn in the centre.

A QR code to your story

A small, discreet QR code leads to your race page: the runner you meet at the aid station discovers your adventure.

Ready for the maker

High-resolution mock-up, actual-size file with cut line and spec sheet: everything patch makers ask for.

How it works

  1. Add your race or hike on Kiptrail (results import, GPX track, or route drawn on the map).
  2. Choose the item and the shape: a pre-filled design appears, which you customise freely in the studio.
  3. Download the mock-up and spec sheet, and send them to the maker of your choice. The patch also joins the collection on your profile.

FAQ

How much does a patch cost?

Creating it is free during the beta. Manufacturing is paid to the maker of your choice, depending on the item and quantity.

Can I put a photo on a patch?

On a printed patch or a badge, yes. Embroidery, weaving and PVC need flat colours: the studio warns you if a design can't be made.

Can race organisers create their race's official patch?

It's planned: write to us from the Contact page to talk about it.

How do I attach the patch to my pack?

Depending on the item: velcro backing, sew-on, carabiner or pin. The attachment is listed in the spec sheet.
