Having multiple weird issues with route creation lately

Seeing some very weird anomalies lately with mapping: In the first image, this was a short, 6 mile run that was saved. Upon returning to my saved routes, not only did it save a Trans-Atlantic run - the distance was way short. In the second image, there is a missing “link” between the street and the path (not the issue). To navigate this, I switched to manual mode and clicked on the path. A wormhole opened and added 12409.62 miles to my run - a bit further than I’d hoped on this route. In reality, this was probably no more than 10 yards. This has happened on numerous occasions both in manual and automatic mapping mode where waypoints that should be about a mile add hundred or thousands of miles. I have run into several occasions lately where maps will “spin” on updating and become unresponsive. It’s happened about 3-4 times in the past couple weeks. Not a huge deal on short runs but kind of annoying when I was 17 miles into mapping my long run and had to redo the whole thin

Newer Strava segments with multiple loops/repeated roads aren't matching Zwift activities

As the person maintaining the library of Strava segments for Zwift, I’ve noticed Strava hasn't been matching certain activities to certain segments.It seems to apply to segments that include multiple loops of a circuit, or repeated sections of road. The following segments are affected by this bug (there may be others):Deca Dash Queen's Highway After Party LaGuardia After Party Bon Voyage Sacre Bleu Hilltop HustleWhat makes this an especially odd bug is that it doesn't seem to apply to older segments. But newer ones - at least those created after April 2024, although I don't have a precise date - are affected. Here are some older segments which clearly include multiple loops, yet they are still being matched to activities just fine:Volcano Circuit, 10 Laps Libby Hill After PartyThere are other older segments I could list, these are just two examples. Every old multi-loop segment I check is still functioning, but any created after April 2024 is not.Please fix it, Strava! It’s really fru

What's New

New! Custom Waypoints on Web Route Builder ‌🗺

You can now add Custom Waypoints onto the routes you create on Web! Insert waypoints anywhere on your route to denote key points like aid stations, bathrooms, views or even when you're supposed to take your next gel. Try it out today under Explore > Create a Route. Place your waypoints on the route, then click the waypoint that you want to customize.  Bonus tip: If you have a compatible Garmin device, these waypoints will transfer onto your device when you sync your route. This means that you will be able to see how far away your nearest waypoint is while on the go— so you never have to wonder "how far until the next coffee shop/aid station/water stop" again.

[Resolved] Strava Feed Delay

Hi. Are the servers being slow this afternoon? I can see my ride in my activities but not on the home feed. I can also see others I follow, their activities if I go directly to them but they also not on the home feed. I uploaded my ride over 3 hours ago. Thanks

Home Trainer (Rouwy) users claiming KOMs

Hi there,This is my first post here. I just realised that Rouwy users are now able to be ranked in KOM leaderboards.And, well… My hometown is home of two cobble sectors of Paris-Roubaix (four and five-stars respectively). I was a bit surprised to see that some “random” user of Rouwy was claiming KOM on the combined segment of the hardest of them two and the next cobble sector over Tadej Pogacar 🙃. And the same user was quite high in the classification on the four-star one. Power outputs (for the ones available) being quite far the ones from the first pros.I mean, yes, Rouwy *might* be accurate on asphalt, but on cobbles, I highly doubt it.I fear that this might alter the sincerity of the KOM leaderboards.Cheers !

Hi All,I'm experiencing a maps problem: I can see my routes and those of the people I follow only in a "preview mode". When I click on the route Strava doesn't show anything and the app crash going back to the main page. What's going wrong? Please help me.Thanks!Patrizio

I would not like my accound to be suspended for that :) Thank you,

Minimum Segment Length.... on Zwift (and other virtual cycling platforms)

Strava recently increased their minimum segment length to 500 meters, from the 300 meter mark where it's been for several  years.As the person maintaining the library of Strava segments for Zwift, I find this new requirement to be overly restrictive. 300 meters was already too long, in fact. 500 meters is just silly.Most Zwift sprints are too short to be made into Strava segments, and certain sections of the Alpe du Zwift climb are also too short.I understand that Strava engineers are concerned with the inconsistent recording of GPS coordinates on various devices, but this isn't an issue on virtual platforms where coordinates are consistently written to your fit file data. (Zwift records every 1s, for example.)For that reason alone, shorter segments should be allowed on virtual platforms, since accuracy is ensured across all users.There are quite a few other reasons why I believe the 500-meter requirement is silly, and I've detailed those in this post: https://zwiftinsider.com/str

Incorrect distance/time when uploading TCX files from NRC

Hi everyone,I’m new here and happy to join the Strava community hub !I started running about 10 years ago, back when Strava was just getting started. At the time, I used Nike Run Club and have since built up over 2.200 km of running history that I really don’t want to lose.I’ve linked my Strava and NRC accounts, but unfortunately that only syncs new runs, not the old ones. Since there’s no way to import my historical data directly, I requested my data export from Nike, which provided me with TCX files.The problem : when I upload the TCX files to Strava, the distance and time (the pace too, as a consequence) are often incorrect. I’ve tried a few sample files, and these issues appear consistently.Has anyone else run into this ? If so, did you find a reliable solution or tool to fix it ? Ideally, I’m looking for something that can help me batch-correct hundreds of runs without having to edit them one by one.Thanks in advance. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated !

Segments minimal length

Why can't I create segments shorter than 500 meters for cycling and shorter than 300 meters for running, even though I have a subscription, when I've seen shorter segments on Strava?For example this running segment is only 280 meters long: https://www.strava.com/segments/19339033
