New to the Strava game. I’m creating routs, which I love, but how is there no turn by turn help?! I’m going to get lost or throw off my run with constantly trying to make sure I’m on the right path by looking at my phone. I don’t want to dead end myself or get so lost that I’m to tired to get back. 

I would like to be able to compare or filter my segment results by gear or by sport. Or show best time for each gear / sport.For example this are my segment results on 3 different bikes (and two sports) mixed together:Climbing uphil on 3 different bikes  - it’s obvious that on full susp mtb I’ll be slower than on lightweight roadbike.But in current view I’m not able to tell, if my time was fast or average for givven gear.This is the basic idea, how it may look like:  

I am very much a low pace, low mileage runner who has not really desire to be superfast. Nonetheless being able to accurately record the time I have been out running against the distance I covered in that time is important for me to assess progress. I live in an area in which GPS is dodgy to the left of me (woods) and to the right of me (heavy built up area)! I very rarely get a correct route on my run, with wild forays off track which can add up to quite a bit of extra mileage.  One run I completed said that I was running 3min km pace - seriously I am not even close to that fast, I think I am likely around 8min km pace. I have tried other ways to measure but it all gets really tiresome and when you are paying for a data collection software it would be nice to have that record distance and time.I appreciate that strava can’t be responsible for sorting out GPS signals so as a last resort if we are able to post run edit the map to iron out the kinks then at least pace could be recorded o

On the maps tab when looking at heatmaps there is an option for "all cycle sports"  It would be great to have that option when creating routes as well.  Currently you have to pick one specific discipline and only rides under that category show up in the heat map overlay. The same ability could be applied to all foot sports as well

How much Time Strava does respond to a subscription refund because if they dont refund within 14 days i cant get m'y money back anymore.What's the solution to this ?Also where i can email about my refund subscription? Kindly asap respond coz that money is really important for me, and it's not for this kind of subscription

My running group is looking to create a challenge for 2025. Our city is turning 250 years old, so the challenge would be to have participants walk, run, bike, hike, etc. 250 miles during the year. We would then enter the individuals who completed into a drawing for prizes.I think we can use Strava Challenges to do this, but I’m not entirely sure on the mechanics or if Strava Challenges would be able to handle this. Some questions:Is there a way to generate a link for a challenge? Or, can people only join by being invited? Is there a limit to the total number of people who can participate in a challenge? I know I personally can invite up to 199 people. But are there other limits we should be aware of? Do challenges track individual efforts or only group efforts? The goal is for each individual person to complete 250 miles, not the whole group to complete 250 miles. Are free subscribers able to join the challenge? Or, are only paid subscribers able to use challenges?  As the organizer of

make more data available when importing from apple health such as stride and cadence when running

"Have you ever wanted to give extra recognition to that one activity that truly made your week memorable? Maybe it was your fastest run, a workout you thought you’d never finish, or even a day when you pushed past every limit and expectation. This is your chance to let your story shine!Pin that special activity to the top of your Strava profile and make it the symbol of your journey. Not only will it inspire others to chase their own goals, but it also becomes a personal milestone to remind you of how far you’ve come.Together, let’s turn our proudest moments into achievements that motivate the entire community.This is my idea for Strava to implement: a feature that allows you to pin your highlight activity to your profile, celebrating your achievements and inspiring others. Let’s make this vision a reality together!"

Since we have to choose between kilometers or miles in Strava, why does the Best Efforts section display both kilometers and miles? The system could just show distances in the selected unit of measurement. As someone who lives in a country where kilometers are used, it seems strange to me that the longest distance is 180km and not 200km. Psycologically, I think that crossing 200kms mark is probably the goal of anyone who reaches 180km. Also, the jump from 100km to 180km seems rather odd. I think it would make more sense to have 100km, 150km and 200km. Maybe 120km as well.

Is there a way to select certain activities and group them into one to track the metrics of a goal? I couldn’t find anything on it and thought that it might be a fun way to see metrics of a goal.For instance, I recently completed the New Hampshire 4000 footers via trail running and was wondering if there was a way to group those workouts into one so that I could see the metrics of the achievement itself. Thought it would be a fun way to see how many miles/how much vert you’ve done over the course of an achievement or training cycle.

Hi, I tried Starva premium to join an event of my company. After the event ended, I forgot to cancel the subscription and was charged with an entire year subscription without any notice. I need to get a refund please help! I need that balance to do my social activity at my hometown. 

When you are cycling for several days, like München-Venice or Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago), you consider every day a stage of one whole route experience.Also, you can be hiking 2 days climbing a mountain, sleeping in a shelter, making it to the top, but in the end is one whole route in a mountain, made in 2 days. It would be so cool to be able to group some individual strava activities in one route/experience/trip that in the end was just made in stages (but not merging them in one activity!). Or at least have one map displaying just selected activities.e.g.: 

Two issues. The first is that one of my most common activities (e-bike ride) is hidden many screens down the list of activities on the Android Wear app - it is 33rd on a list of 49 different activities. Very rare/niche activities (handcycle, ‘velomobile’) are on the first or second screen when I scroll down, but really common ones are down at the bottom? This makes no sense.It should be possible to a) rearrange activities by dragging them to the home screen; and b) hide activities (some of them, I don’t even know what they are!), or c) at the very least, have them in alphabetical order! Right now, they seem to be completely random - some alphabetical, some not.Second issue: The default activities when I open the Android Wear app are running, cycling and walking. You would think that tapping the ‘run’ icon would open running? No. Instead it just opens the list of activities! If I want to actually get to the running activity, I have to click ‘run’ again on the next screen. 

Currently, the maps in Strava do not provide detailed information about bridges on paths that cross rivers. In contrast, OpenStreetMap (OSM) includes these details, which are vital for users planning routes. Incorporating this information would greatly benefit cyclists, runners, and hikers, ensuring they are better prepared for their journeys and avoid potential dead ends.

If the creator of a segment is on the leaderboard, they should have a pencil/blueprint icon and you can see which activity they created the segment from 

This needs to be a feature. I simply don’t want to see 6 Ai generated fitness instructors on my feed

It’s the time of year where my feed gets polluted by a bunch of indoor activities that are of no interest to anyone other than the person doing them. I would love for there to be a way to hide all virtual activities from my feed. I’d also like for any of own virtual activities to be automatically hidden from the public feed, but the former feature would solve for the latter. Thanks for considering my suggestion!

I can completely understand why custom challenge authors should be a subscriber, but it seems cost-prohibitive to require invitees to also be subscribers. Our use-case is improving/monitoring cardio for our workplace. It just simply is not doable to get our members to all subscribe. Ideally, we would be creating club-based challenges. Right now, we must invite everyone to the club, then create the challenge and invite.This is a lot of steps and not user-friendly design.

Hi, From the “Running” activity I understand there are “Type of Runs” and “Tags”, each with a set of pre-defined value we can select. But is it possible to actually edit them and define others ? Type of Runs and TagsOr is it fixed and only those values can be selected ? Thanks.  

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to modify the confidentiality of a synchronized activity (for example, the function "hide the activity from my home feed") with my Suunto Race S watch before its final publication.Unless I am mistaken, when I synchronize an activity between my Suunto watch and Strava, the activity is published automatically without me being able to intervene before on certain functionality settings. Tks. Pierre

I live in snowy country and lots of riding being done on Zwift.  I would prefer to see just the outdoor activities in my Activity Feed and not Zwift rides.  Possible?

I’ve recently created a new club and had two people join. I could immediately see their activities in the club feed, even though those activities existed before the creation of the club, and were unrelated to the club e.g. they weren’t club events or group activities done with club members. So for now I’ve disabled the club activity feed.Is there any way to set the privacy level for an activity to be club members and followers only? Or even choose which specific clubs it should appear in? Or alternatively, only show club group activities in the club feed?

Après avoir enregistré ma dernière activité la vitesse max a beugé (137km)et les segments n'étaient pas tous enregistré 

Accidentally deleted my activty, help me to restore it please

I'm adding my vote to the idea suggested by others that time spent in heart zones should be charted weekly and monthly, not just by a single activity. Thanks!
