Today, Strava is the favorite application for athletes. This social network allows athletes, especially runners, to share their exploits. The app has attracted a lot of attention in recent weeks since it has made it possible to track the movements of the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron.
On the other side of the Atlantic, one of Strava’s 120 million users has found a new interest in it. Originally from Toronto, thirty-year-old Duncan McCabe embarked on a bizarre quest: to create an animation on Strava. On November 17, he published the result on social networks and the video quickly went viral.
121 races to make a man dance on Strava
10 months. 121 races. 1105 kilometers. All this for a 27 second video. The result of his hundreds of races put end to end, like a flipbook is extremely impressive. Duncan McCabe walked the streets of Toronto, Canada, for almost a year to bring to life a stick figure who loves to dance. And he does it with great class Purple Hat by Sofi Tukker.
The thirty-year-old completed courses that formed this man wearing a cap, with a few changes throughout his running sessions. By compiling its 121 races, the drawing comes to life and has something to amaze us. Duncan McCabe’s video represents a colossal amount of work for just a few seconds of video. But success is there. After 10 months of running tirelessly, his video soon has a million views on TikTok.
This isn’t the first time a Strava user has indulged in artistic pursuits. The most creative users do not hesitate to produce images of animals or phrases on the social network dedicated to athletes. So, Duncan McCabe is not on his first try. On his TikTok account, he had already shared the animation of an adorable dinosaur, a very cute raccoon, a friendly shark or even a splendid whale. This work of art required him to travel a total of 700 kilometers. Hats off to the artist! By making his caped man dance, the young man decided to go even further. In every sense of the word. Enough to motivate more than one runner on Strava. Do you want to let your artistic soul speak during your running sessions?
