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?

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.

Hi and happy new year! How do you upload a manual activity? The + sign is nowhere to be found. I appreciate your help. Arin

I recently purchased the Garmin Fenix 8.  I use an indoor rowing machine.  The Fenix has a icon for indoor rowing workouts, but when the workout transfers to Strava, it shows up as an outdoor rowing activity with no way to change to indoor row or to add distance.  Thoughts?  

Hi. How do you record each run and vertical meters whilst skiiing in the Strava App? Thanks 

It's the 5th of January 2025 1:17pm where I reside and my year in sport 2024 has disappeared from my profile on the app.  The Strava website clearly indicates that I would have access too it until the 6th of January 2025. Very disappointed not to have access too it Just got back from off grid camping, couldn't access it sooner.  Please help

This has happened twice now that I’ve finished a run with no issues, stopped the activity, hit finish and save activity, and it tells me it’s processing. Then a few minutes later, the processing banner is gone and the activity is nowhere to be found. Help!(My app also is not showing the + button in the top left corner to input the activity manually, but that is a separate issue)

I have a problem that the sorting of favorites does not work, can you check please 

What do people think of downvoting ideas? We can currently upvote ones we like but right now there is no way to express a dislike to an idea except in comments and to not vote for an idea.Would it be too negative? I’ve seen some ideas I dislike, fortunately (for me) nobody voted for them but this might help filter ideas and gauge interest. 

HI AS ANYONE EVER MANAGE TO GET A REFUND FROM STRAVA. 

Hi guys, I am 14 and I turn 15 in April, I need your help. Does anyone know about any 10k races that I can take part in? Thanks.

Hello!My strava heatmap has not been updating since a good year ago I guess. Is there anything I can do about it so I can see again were I already have ridden. My strava app is fully updated so it can’t be that problem.Thanks in advance!!

My recent 10k run PR has not updated. Can this be resolved. My time as per below is 44:16 but my strava best effort still states my PR is 45:52   

 Not uploading to strava since yesterday,anyone else have this problem?

Hola , Comunidad de Strava.  Espero que se encuentren bien. Quisiera validar el estado de la solicitud que realicé hace algunos meses para obtener la insignia de verificación en mi perfil de Strava. Hasta la fecha no he recibido respuesta, he mandado varios email y solicitudes y a la fecha no me han dado ninguna respuesta , me gustaría saber si hay algún requisito adicional que deba cumplir o si necesitan información complementaria para procesar mi solicitud. Agradezco de antemano su atención y quedo en espera de sus comentarios para poder avanzar con este proceso.

Just wondering. 

It is not possible to add training partners. It was always possible to add people who did training with me but did not turn on strava, but in the last two I have not had such an option. I am asking for urgent help.

For some reason, it looks like Strava has decided to just put random athletes into the activity feed -- i have mine set in chronological order, and I only want to see the people I follow. There does not seem to be a way to turn it off. Does this seem like a good idea?
