Challenge not recognising my run

Hi folks, I ran a 5K this morning but the 'September 5K x Brooks' challenge isn't updated to show I have ran. Does it take a while to update or is there something I am missing?

bugs ou triches sur les Challenges / bugs or cheats on Challenges

Bonjour à tous je constate depuis plusieurs mois, sur les challenges marche, des activités frauduleuses qui faussent le classement général, voire même celui du pays.  En effet, il est simple de signaler une activité frauduleuse en le signalant, mais comment faire avec des comptes bloquer où l'on doit avoir l'aval de la personne pour voir ses trajets ? Ces personnes ne devraient pas pouvoir être intégrer aux challenges, la vérification est impossible et le classement complétement fausser. Ce classement est une source de motivation pour bon nombre d'athlètes, il serait souhaitable d'étudier cet aspect des choses pour une éthique sportive plus adaptée.   TRANSLATION: Hello everyone, For several months, I have noticed fraudulent activities on the walking challenges which distort the general ranking, and even that of the country. Indeed, it is simple to report fraudulent activity by reporting it, but how can we do this with blocked accounts where we must have the person'

I've just done a ride in Europe over 14 days that took me to 9 countries. I'd like to connect all fourteen rides so I can see the complete route that I took. Does Strava have the capability to link rides in this way?Thanks for any help you can give me,Chris

Connecting activities

HiCould Strava make it easy to connect activities. E.g I went for a ride on Saturday but while I was having a cuppa at my favourite cafe my Garmin watch stopped saving that part of my ride. I continued on realised my watch had stopped so re started it. At the end I saved this part of my ride. So my 40mile ride was uploaded as two rides. I tried to figure out how I could connect these two rides to make 1 ride, but sadly I couldn't. This has happened a number of times. It would be really helpful if I could join easily join them together ☺️

Strava showing wrong time ?

Hi everyone, I'm new here ! A friend of mine ran a race yesterday and unusually for the first time Strava added 1hr10mins to the recording ? She had switched the watch timing off after crossing the line - others running with her did not have this. She has a Garmin series 2 Venu watch, which she says just automatically links direct to Strava. I don't think she has Garmin connect (as I do as well) to see what that says. Any ideas, or how to rectify the mistake - she is a bit upset ! Hope someone can help -regards all

Lecol points

Hi all, hope someone can help. Trying to join strava to my lecol account so that I can earn points for km. Sounds simple but it keeps telling me that I have already this account and to try revoke permission which I have? I do have 2 strava accounts (one of which is dead) when I try to delete the dead one it links up to my active account and I don't want to lose that. Any ideas?

Suggested friends

Why are my suggested friends always the same?i have no intention of ever connecting with any of them but apparently I cannot disable the feature of suggested friends.As I cannot turn off the feature it is really getting to me that Strava always pushes the same 2 friend suggestions. How do I - politely - say "no, thanks" to the suggestions?I have not let Strava pick up my phonebook or any other contacs lists./Ulf

Ranking - Ciclism

When placing athletes who use MTB bikes together with those who use road/gravel bikes in the same ranking, a discrepancy is created. The App should separate athletes when making their equipment choices when carrying out the activity (MTB x road/gravel.

Route Builder: add user filter to refine "popular route" by TYPE & SPEED

Suggestion: offer filtering of what historic route types and speed is used to inform "popular" - allowing users to select "popular with cycling" or "popular with running" only, and ideally "minimum / maximum speed of XX kmph for the path"This would reduce many issues with suggested routes directing users down roads that are actually inappropriate, and where known / statistically identifiable journey types have significantly different routing requirements (e.g. cycling rides will typically be longer, higher average speeds etc.) Problem: Within Build a Route - the "follow most popular" pathing does not have different data for Running / Walking vs Cycling. Most Popular is often not the most appropriate route. Plotting a Road Cycling route will direct a cyclist down a very popular path, popular because it is used by runners/walkers - i.e. inappropriate for cycling, creating unreliable route suggestions at best, or routes with more cycling/pedestrian conflicts, or illega

Challenges with Wrong Participants

Just curious about the guy that’s logged in hundreds of miles of biking in less than a week in the September running challenge. He’s number 1 and he’s not running and even his biking seems to be unrealistically a huge amount. I think it’s in the 1000s of miles actually but I’m not good at metric system

Olá a todos! / Hello everybody!

Hello everybody! I'm excited to be part of this community and I really hope I can contribute here. I'll tell you a little about myself... Only Brazilian, **bleep** in a city called Palmas do Tocantins. 12 years ago, I faced an accident that left me paraplegic, but since then I have been on a journey of constant overcoming. Today, I am proud to share that I have recovered approximately 70% of my movement and have become an outstanding competitor in several sports. Currently, I am a wheelchair tennis athlete, passionate about hiking, trails and weight training. I love challenging my own limits and exploring new sporting horizons. If you are also driven by the passion of challenges and would like to challenge me in any sport, follow me here and send your proposal. Let's inspire each other to overcome barriers and reach new heights together!" See you soon 💪✨🚀 TRANSLATION: Hello everybody! I'm excited to be part of this community and I really hope I can contribute her

Auto-pause

I’m doing the GNR on Sunday. Wanting to hope everything runs smooth. If I’m jogging or going at a slower pace than my normal, which is a cert with the amount of people taking part, will my Strava pause or keep going?

Welcome & Happy September!

Welcome to the Community Hub and thanks for stopping by! For those of us in the northern hemisphere (above the equator), September marks the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall. For our southern hemisphere members, they kick off the beginning of Spring. This year, the September equinox - where days and nights are said to be equal in length for everyone across the globe - will fall on Sept. 23, 2023.  Also in September, cities across the globe will celebrate World Car-Free Day, encouraging motorists to give up their cars for a day. Highlighting the numerous benefits of going car free, this year over 2,000 cities in 46 countries will participate in World Car-Free Day on Friday, Sept. 22! In addition to reducing air & noise pollution and creating safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists, community members in car-free cities show an increase in physical activity and reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with inactive lifestyles.       &nbs
