About

Cusco Urban Marathon

This urban marathon merchandise project draws inspiration from Inca textiles and architecture, translating their geometric, modular logic into a modern visual language. By reinterpreting traditional patterns through contemporary graphics, the project makes Inca culture more visible and accessible, allowing runners and visitors to engage with the city’s history not as a backdrop, but as an active presence woven into the experience of the marathon.
