Welcome to our Community!

We are so excited to have you join our global community of athletes and start discussing what's important to you about being an athlete and sharing your experiences. You'll find lots of opportunities to read and hear from other athletes throughout the community. Take your time to explore what's there and when you're ready, jump into contributing to an existing discussion or start a new one. We ask that you make sure you read and respect the rules so we can all participate in healthy discussion and everyone is welcomed and respected. By committing to our community standards then we collectively create a space that we all want to be a part of and look forward to returning to. If we strive to be our best then great things happen.

Tell us more about yourself! 

1. Your biography - under your Settings > My profile there is a section that you can use to tell others about yourself. You might consider sharing your interests which makes it easier for like-minded people to find each other. Be mindful of sharing too much personally identifiable information as you would in any online setting. More guidance is available in our article on your profile privacy controls.
    
2. Add a signature to your posts - adding a signature to your post is a good way to share something you'd like others to know every time you interact with them. For example, you may be looking to find more followers and wish to share your Strava profile information. This article takes you through 5 simple steps to share your Strava profile.
