Leuven marathon poster

Leuven marathon poster

Hi guys! First time posting here because I can't work out how to do this myself in paint. My husband and I ran our first marathon together last month. It was hard but we crossed the finish line together. And even within the target time we had set. I would like to surprise him with a A3 poster to remember this moment. Online I cannot find what I am looking for, because I want to combine some elements:

  1. Text: Leuven marathon and date: 19 april 2026
  2. Route, see https://wallable.nl/product/leuven-marathon/ or https://victoryposter.com/en/product/marathon-leuven/ , https://afstandmeten.nl/index.php?id=4131049
  3. a place to put our 2 medals. They are rond, 8 cm wide (got this idea from https://city-shapes.com/nl/medaillehouder/marathon-amsterdam/ )
  4. on the bottom a skyline of Leuven (found here https://www.woodwidecities.com/collections/skyline-leuven/products/standing-skyline-leuven-black . ) Got this idea from here as well https://city-shapes.com/nl/medaillehouder/marathon-amsterdam/

I am not 100% sure how paying works. Would 10-20 euro do? I can use paypal.

Review and comparison running singlets for warmer weather

I hope my review and comparison of these 9 singlets will help some of you with picking a singlet for the warmer months. Tried to stick to the facts. But let me know if you have any more questions about them and I'll try to answer😄

Background: For some reason I escpecially suck at running in warmer temperatures. So every year I buy a few new singlets/tops/vest (or whatever you like to call them), hoping they are the holy grail of keeping me cooler.

SOAR Running Race Vest in rainbow, medium
Dry weight 39,56 gr - Wet weight 51,58 gr
Feeling: supple and light - Fit: comfortably skin tight, a bit short

Asics Metaspeed singlet in flash red, medium
Dry weight: 49,63 gr - Wet weight 57,31 gr
Feeling: a bit like mesh with holes. Not soft, even a bit scratchy - Fit: slim fit and skin tight with no stretch

Slow Sunday singlet in Sunny Lime, w100
Dry weight 51,35 gr- Wet weight 64,07 gr
Feeling: supple and light - Fit: perfectly loose and flowy, a little long

SAYSKY Flow Air singlet in Drip Dye, large
Dry weight 39,15 gr - Wet weight 49,41 gr
Feeling: mesh-y with holes. Very light, breezy and a bit soft - Fit: normal, didn't need to size up. A bit wide at the bottom

Ciele FST SINGLET-2 singlet in khaki, medium

Feeling: bit like a light cottony fabric - Fit: normal but loose on bottom

Tracksmith Van Cortlandt Singlet in Lavender, large
Dry weight 97,99 gr - Wet weight 111,20 gr
Feeling: thick fabric - Fit: on the smaller side I guess. That's why I sized up

Nike Dri-FIT Aeroswift singlet in white, medium
Dry weight 54,52 gr - Wet weight 72,06 gr
Feeling: bit like a cottony fabric. Not really soft - Fit: normal, follows the contours of the body

On RACE singlet in Flame, large
Dry weight 46,99 gr - Wet weight 59,50 gr
Feeling: thin like paper or viscose - Fit: a bit big. Not too long. Didn't have to size up I guess.

Dry weight 52,75 gr - Wet weight 70,15 gr
Feeling: smooth and supple - Fit: a little bit too big and long

Side notes
-I put all of the singlets in the washing machine at the same time. And weighed them directly after the cycle was done to see how they deal with moisture.
-I am usually a size medium. But I don't mind a singlet being a bit looser. So I also have a few larges in my closet. Usually pick a large if that is the only size left. Or if reviews say the singlet is extremely tight.
