The Strava route creation function is really useful but it doesn’t give you route guidance whilst running. Would it be possible to export the route map into Apple Maps new routes function which works really well when running?

Hi Strava team, The ability to attach songs to activities would be a fantastic feature, similiarly to how you can attach songs to Instagram stories/posts. I think this has been suggested before but it would be a great feature to personalize activities and enhance user engagement, as has been shown by its integration in other social media platforms. Music is an integral part of exercising to me and the ability to express that in my Strava activities would be amazing. As a free user, if a feature like this were added to premium, it would be a no-brainer for me to upgrade, and I am sure many others feel the same.  Thanks for considering!

To my knowledge it has been at least 2 months since this problem was first identified, and it’s definitely still a problem. I want to know if anyone has gotten any updates concerning this, or if that vague statement from months ago is all that we have on this still very relevant issue. If nothing else, I want to bring this back into the limelight so that Strava knows this is a still an issue people very much care about. Thank you for your time!

so out of nowhere my Garmin watch dnd Strava not syncing anymore. Any ideas? 

Add a button to lap please

Hi,I am just updating my set-up between a Garmin Edge and Wahoo Elemnt.  I use a Wahoo head unit to record my activities (and sync it to strava) and use my garmin watch to broadcast my heart rate (I did not upload any garmin data to strava). Because I am having a problem with my Wahoo, I just allowed my Garmin to upload to Strava so I can use an old Garmin computer to record activities.  I thought this would only upload all new rides from today onwards.  Unfortunately, it is has doubled all my activities for more than a year (closer to two years).Is there a way of turning the time back on my Strava activities e.g. to yesterday to save me having to manually go and delete hundreds of duplicate activities?Thank you very much!Cameron 

Not sure if the option to tag elliptical activities as a workout existed in the past and was removed or if I’m mis-remembering, but either way would appreciate the option to tag these as workouts in the future for cross training purposes! Currently only have the option to tag elliptical activities as commute, but I find it makes things easier to organize at a glance when using the training log, and workout activities are striped. 

Differentiating MTB from gravel with regards to leaderboards. Just like you have done with e-MTB versus regular MTB. As I see it the split between MTB and gravel bikes can be done in 2 ways (or maybe more?):1. Make a "clean" split as it has been done with e-MTB and regular MTB so a segment either relates to the one or the other.2. Make the leaderboard for a given segment differentiated as it is with men and women today. Then an "overall" Leaderboard can be maintained and a MTB and a gravel leaderboard can be created as highlighting the difference between the two types of bikes.I really hope you will try to work on this in future releases.

Hi! I love Strava so much! I track ever activity with the app (gym, hiking, walks, etc.).But as an equestrian it would be so nice if Strava would make it possible to add “horse riding” as an activity as I can only track my horse-riding trainings with my apple watch, which later saves it in the Strava App as “training”.Since I really value the statistics of my activities, it would be great to have also an overview of my statistics when riding horses. Strava has soooo many different sports integrated as activities. It would be nice for all active horse people to add horse riding❤️

Have pinned activities in your home or profile page of your favorite or best runs...or worst!  Good for getting an idea of the athlete at a glance.

Add Best Efforts also for walking activities. I (speed) walk until I’ve lost more weight to protect my knees, but walking activities do not provide Best Effort scores like running ones do. I don’t want to classify my timed walks as runs as then the info would be lost once I can actually start running.Distances tracked might well be different than for running focusing more on longer distances (upwards from 1 km/mile - 5, 10, 15 , 20, half marathon, etc) and also include distance records over 30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc.When going to events, I see many people walking these, so suspect I’m not the only one that would like this feature to be added. 

in my club on strava some are using manual entries, the club is a triatlon club so tracks swim,bike,run activities, if someone manual uploads a swim for 1 hour this is registered in the club leader boards, is there a way we can not include manual activities 

Audio prompts are only available based on distance (every half km, km etc) but it would be great if audio prompts could also announce time elapsed (every 1 min, 5 mins etc). This would be great for timing things like couch to 5k, intervals, etc. But it would also be great when people only have a fixed amount of time to be active in (eg a lunch break) and want to keep track of time without having to check the time. 

  How do I delete it because I'm click about adding manual activity, I'm click about time and I'm click about saving, how do I delete it?

Hi, I am planning to create a group challenge but I only have a free trial. What happens with my challenge after my trial ends? Is it still active or do I need to have an active subscription until the challenge ends?Thanks. 

Using an Apple Watch for tracking cycle workouts with e-bike but obviously it has no idea about my usage of throttle or pedal assist.  When I import into Strava and set the ride type to e-bike or e-mountain bike, does that do anything to the data or is it just tagging that exercise with the type?  Or if I track via Strava, how does it utilize the e-bike type, does it use it to calculate calories? if so, is it best to just use Apple Watch through a HIIT workout to track heart rate and let Strava track the bike ride/route information?

It seems only paid subscribers can join group challenges. Additionally they must be invited. Am I missing something? There are a bunch of other challenges I can join. Why are those visible?

I use my garmin watch to run indoor. But when I sync with strava, i can’t input my Kilometers manuality. In Garmin i can change.its possible upgrade version!?thank you!

IDEA: Add folders as a way to organize certain groups of activities into an easy-to-access place without having to rename all of them with a keyword or phrase.  WHY: As someone who likes to be organized, which I assume people who use an app to track their activities would also be, I feel that having another option to organize activities would greatly benefit many users. If I want to group a bunch of activities into “summer training” for example, I don't want to rename all of them “summer training.” I also don't want to sort the time period or which type of activity because of how many unrelated activities would also show up through the current filter. By adding folders, Strava users would be able to organize their activities in whatever way they want (allowing more freedom), whether for a training program or a fun trip, without spending forever renaming all of them and forgetting what keyword they used. And then if they want to look back on those activities in the futur

It would be lovely if you could add “ice hockey” so it can be selected under edit activity. 

  I would like to kindly ask you to add New type of sport. I am doing a lot of activities by sports scooter as additional sport. It is not possible to select this type of sport. Thank you.

I have some 700+ activities on my Strava account, spanning thousands of kilometres of different roads and whatnot. When I open my heatmap, it is beautiful, except for the few GPS error ‘scribbles’ that are here and there.I would like to select the activity from the map itself, so that I can either correct/crop the activity, or simply delete it. I don’t know how else to identify what ‘that’ scribble activity was.Can we please have a feature to identify the activities on the map? Maybe generate a list of activities in the current view, at the bottom of the page, when in a smaller/focussed zoom at a particular point?

I noticed that Strava has deducted my account to renew my subscription for 2025, but I no longer wish to continue with the service. I’ve tried to find the support team through the website, but the webpage isn’t working. Could you please guide me on how to cancel my subscription and request a refund?

Pleasantly surprised to discover on the 2nd day of the new year that I could add a new pair of shoes from within the Strava iPhone (iOS) app.  So rather than complaining or suggesting something new, I want to say THANKS for adding this feature.I had a great run in a new pair of Topo UltraAdventure 4 shoes. It was so nice to add them on them on the fly as I usually forget by the time I get home.Thanks Strava PM and Engineering team.

On the mobile app, my group’s leaderboard only displays the number of activities. It does not display distance, and I have not been able to locate anything in the settings to adjust this. I know I can view the distance leaderboard on the website - but any insight into how to make distance the default leaderboard on the mobile app would be much appreciated. Thanks!
