Hi all!  I have been setting goals and tracking against them for some time.  I just started MTB.  I did a ride last and this week and the distance and elevation (my two goals) did not show these rides.  I went back and see that when you set a goal you need to choose - Ride, MTB, etc.  There is a feature to select All Sports which would have included both.  The Question is: now that I have a weekly goal that we originally set to Ride, how to I change that to add other activities such as MTB?  Thanks!

I hope somebody sees this and can help me. I am a college student, and was using the app to help track my half-marathon progress. Unfortunately, I became injured early when I had the free trial and am now not able to use this app after healing from several surgeries. I forgot about my free trial and was charged a hefty amount today, a price that I can not afford with my medical bills, grocery, and school tuition. I canceled my subscription immediately, but am hoping for a refund. I emailed and messaged, but am hoping I can get a soon reply before it gets too late. PLEASE HELP! Thank you so so so much.

Live tracking map of the athletes: https://www.orlando2024trials.com/athletes/track-an-athlete/Is a live tracking map available during the Olympics?It would be cool if we could do this in Strava.

Hi folks;I'm doing route planning for a charity gran fondo in Ontario Canada.  We're wondering about the idea of including a Strava segment on two of the routes.  We would do prizing for the KOM, QOM and perhaps fastest seniors participating in our event.I have a paid subscription to Strava - so I use segments a bit and have a few favourited for use on my wahoo, etc., but my question is - would ALL Strava users receive times on the identified segments on that day or ONLY the paid subscribers?Would I see segment times for free strava members even if they cannot see themselves?Idea would be that we would visit the segment pages on the website after the event and see who had the fastest time - award a prize - include this in wrap up ceremonies.Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone knows how Strava calculates 'watts' for an e-bike ride?Technically, the e-bike knows how much assist it is adding, but I do not know if it exports that data, or if Strava can access the data.My typical analog bike ride is about 150watts average, and the same trail (albeit 30% shorter time) is about 200 watts when on the e-bike. So, yes, I can assume I am getting a 50 watt booster from the e-bike over the ride. Was just wondering how Strava handles this.

Hey tennis fans! The first of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments has begun. The 112th edition of the Australian Open will be held from January 14-28 at Melbourne Park. Along with the other three, the French Open (May/June), Wimbledon (June/July), and the US Open (Aug/Sept), these tournaments showcase the best players in the world.  There are a number of players to keep your eyes on at the Australian Open. You can catch defending men’s singles champion Novak Djokovic from Serbia going up against Croatia's Dino Prizmic on the first day. Djokovic is going for a record extending 25th Grand Slam singles title. On the women's side, you can  catch defending women's singles champ Aryna Sabalenka take on Germany’s Ella Seidel.   Also check out Japan’s Naomi Osaka who won the open in 2019 and 2021; she is back on the court after welcoming her daughter in July. Poland’s Iga Świątek is coming in as the #1 seed; the four-time major champ is seeking her first Australian Open.

For some reason, over the last couple of days I have had to log into this Community Hub pretty much every time I have opened the page.  I am using the same bookmark as I have since I started.  In the past, I remained logged in, but something has changed in the last couple of days.  Anyone know if that was a change to this page?  

As we wrap up 2023, we would like to thank all our members for their input here on the Community Hub and share some of our highlights from the year. Over the past 12 months, we have welcomed many new members and we’ve enjoyed reading your stories, ideas, and discussions. There were a number of inspiring and inspirational stories that our members shared this year. Take a look and give some kudos to @JasonGirouard who ran EVERY block in Manhattan, @Ken shared his weight loss journey with us and @1Danimal  shared how Strava Beacon saved him after a bike crash. We also saw a number of ideas that our teams were able to deliver this year including Direct Messaging, Assign Default Gear by Activity type and integrating with NIKE. In addition to NIKE, we also integrated with Spotify allowing users to easily access music, podcasts & audiobooks from the Strava app while tracking activities.  We particularly loved seeing our members helping each other out this yea

If you’re a tennis fan, you know that one of the biggest events in tennis is about to begin. The oldest tennis tournament in the world, The Championships, or Wimbledon, will bring thousands of tennis loving fans to England where they can take in one of the 675 matches that are scheduled between July 3 and July 16 this year. Since 1877, some of the greatest in tennis - Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, Björn Borg, Serena & Venus Williams, Roger Federer, Steffi Graff, and Andre Agassi - to name a few - have showcased their skills on the only one of the four Grand Slam competitions played on grass. Of all the matches, the Men’s and Women’s Singles are often the most anticipated. This year’s favorites are Novak Djokovic (Serbia) for the men and Iga Świątek (Poland) for the women. The 36 year old Djokovic is going for his 8th Wimbledon win (including the last 4 titles). Świątek is currently ranked #1 and is Poland’s first player to win a major singles title. These two may be

If you enjoy one of the many activity types on Strava, have a brand you love or just want to meet others in your area; chances are there’s a Strava club that fits your interest. There are clubs for a variety of sport types, universities, big names in the shoe, bike and clothing industries and so much more. If you’re not seeing a club that fits your needs or you have a group of folks that want to start a club, you can create your own! Follow the steps below to get started….Note: at this time, clubs can only be created via the Strava website, not via the app. Pro Tip: If you are creating a club for a brand or larger organization, it’s good practice to create a separate email account that will be used exclusively for the admin use of your Club.1. From the Club Search page, click on  (in the upper right). 2. Fill out the required fields: NOTE: If you do not want your club to be public, be sure to click. For invite only clubs, Athletes must request permission to join. Only ad
