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:

Text: Leuven marathon and date: 19 april 2026
Route, see https://wallable.nl/product/leuven-marathon/ or https://victoryposter.com/en/product/marathon-leuven/ , https://afstandmeten.nl/index.php?id=4131049
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/ )
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.

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.

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.
