How to Create a Triathlon Race Stats Card for Social Media

Race day is over. The finish photo is on your phone. Now you want something that shows the full picture — the 3.8 km swim, the 180 km on the bike, the marathon run, the total time. A race stats card does that in a single shareable image sized for Instagram, Twitter, or wherever you post.

This guide covers how to make one from your triathlon GPS data.

What File You Need

Your triathlon GPS recording is likely stored in one of these places:

• Garmin Connect — multi-sport activities export as a single file with all segments
• Coros / Polar / Suunto — similar multi-sport activity support
• Strava — if your device synced automatically; export via ⋯ → Export GPX

For a full-distance (Ironman) or 70.3 triathlon, your GPS device likely recorded all three legs as one continuous multi-sport activity. Export the GPX or FIT from there.

If your device split the three disciplines into separate files (some devices do this), use Stamptivity Merge first to combine them into a single track — then load the merged file into Stamp.

Step-by-Step

1. Export Your GPS File

From Garmin Connect:

1. Open the multi-sport activity
2. Click the gear icon (⚙) → Export to GPX

From Strava:

1. Open the race activity
2. Click ⋯ → Export GPX

See the full guides for Garmin, Coros, or Strava.

2. Open Stamptivity Stamp

Go to Stamptivity Stamp and drop your file onto the upload zone.

3. Choose a Template

For a triathlon race card, try:

• Aero — full-canvas map with stats overlaid at the bottom. Clean and dramatic.
• Climb — if the bike course had significant elevation, this puts the elevation profile front and centre.
• Sprint — side-by-side layout with stats on one side, map on the other.

4. Add Your Race Photo

Upload your finish line photo, a photo from the bike leg, or any image from race day. Darken it slightly with the overlay slider to make the stats readable.

5. Add Stats

For a triathlon result card, focus on:

• Distance — total across all three legs
• Time — total race time
• Elevation — total gain (usually from the bike leg)
• Map — the full course trace across swim, bike, and run
• Heart Rate — average and max across the race

6. Export

Click Download JPG for a ready-to-share image, or Download PNG for a transparent overlay to composite in another app.

Individual Discipline Stats

If you want separate cards for each discipline (e.g., just the bike leg), your GPS device may have saved each leg as a separate activity on Garmin Connect or Strava. Export the individual activities and create a separate card for each.

Comparing Race Performances

If you've done the same race in a previous year or done multiple 70.3s, use Stamptivity Compare to load two race files and see the differences in pace, heart rate, and elevation side by side on a shared timeline.

Tips

• Sprint triathlon distance (750m swim / 20km bike / 5km run) makes for a compact card — the map is small, so a map widget alongside your stats is the clean choice.
• Ironman 140.6 bike courses often have dramatic elevation — an elevation profile chart is worth including.
• If your GPS didn't record the swim (most wrist GPS watches don't track open water well), the swim leg may appear as a straight line or be missing from the map. That's expected.
• Post your race card with the 9:16 format (Instagram Stories or TikTok) on race day — it gets strong engagement while the event is trending.
