Run Visuals turns your runs into 3D scenes worth sharing. YOUR ROUTE ON REAL TERRAIN Every run drawn across the hills and valleys it crossed, on a handcrafted 3D map: grassy slopes, rocky faces and snowy peaks, with your route glowing across the land. Lit by the sun at the time you ran: golden mornings, blue-hour evenings, starry night runs. SET THE WEATHER Ran it in the rain? Add it. Sunny, fog, clouds, rain or snow, with sun rays, drifting mist and falling snow in your images and videos. SPLITS AND ELEVATION IN 3D Your splits as bars and your elevation as a ribbon you can spin and explore. Switch to your watch’s laps for intervals. ANIMATED VIDEOS Export a video that draws your route as the stats count up, with a burst of confetti at the finish, ready for your story. STYLE EVERY RUN Give each activity its own look: the sky, black, white or your own photo with blur and filters, plus terrain and graph colors. SHARE ANYWHERE Save or share an image or video as a 4:5 post or a 9:16 story, with or without a background. CONNECTS TO Strava, Garmin Connect and Apple Health. Runs, walks, hikes and rides.
