Hello Strava Team,

 

I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly benefit hikers, backpackers, and trekking guides.

 

Currently, when recording long hikes or expeditions that last multiple days, the activity is saved either as a single continuous activity or needs to be manually stopped and restarted each day. This makes it difficult to accurately represent multi-day efforts as a single expedition while still preserving daily statistics.

 

Feature suggestion:

A “Multi-Day Activity” mode that would allow users to:

• Record an expedition as one overall activity (total distance, elevation, and duration)

• Automatically split the activity into daily segments

• View both the daily breakdown and the total expedition summary

• Pause overnight without battery drain or data loss

 

This would be especially valuable for:

• Multi-day treks and thru-hikes

• Backpacking trips

• Trail runners on stage efforts

• Mountain guides and outdoor professionals

 

Strava is widely used by the outdoor community, and this feature would better represent real-world multi-day adventures.

 

Thank you for your time and for continually improving the platform.

 

Best regards, 

Paulote
