Strava (GPS) art
Strava art (or GPS art) is running/cycling a route with the aim of creating a picture with the GPS recording of your activity.
Below is a collection of trails I have run to create some Strava art. The GPS route of my run was recorded on my Garmin running watch and then plotted on the map once complete.

Cats
Two varieties on the cat theme run. Both are a little over 10km.
Strava route (Cat 1), Strava route (Cat 2).
Easter bunny
For Easter I ran 18km in the shape of a rabbit. Some of the narrow London streets flanked by tall buildings make for some wobbly GPS readings, and there was one part where I had to scramble over some construction work to stay on track. But overall I was fairly happy with it as a first attempt.
Dog
I took advantage of the quite streets due to the observation of Boxing day to ride a ~30km route through London in the shape of a dog. Unlike running, creating Strava art on a bike requires a bit more planning as one-way streets (of which London has a lot!) can really throw off your planning.
Kiwi
For ANZAC day: 21.5 km loop taking in the City, Regents Canal, and some of the parks in London.
Along the route I did come across two locked gates which impeded my progress. But I was able to navigate around them without affecting the overall route too much.
