I think it would be really cool to see my map with a feature to "turn on all runs" and see just how much of my area I have covered. It would encourage me to try new roads and get my town to "100% completion". 

Strava could even have challenges of "color in this town" or "team red vs team blue" to see who can color more in a day or a week.

As with so many things, it's buried deep in STRAVA sub-menus, specifically Apps>Social Motivation: https://www.strava.com/apps/social-motivation

I’ll be sure to write up a feature suggestion and tag you in it.

The existing STRAVA Heat Map sounds a lot like what you're mentioning (https://www.strava.com/athlete/heatmaps)

There's also a partnership integration between STRAVA and CityStrides, whereby your STRAVA activities feed into the CityStrides database and calculate % completion for a given city/cities.  I put this out as a challenge to my run club in 2021 and continue progressing into 2022.  Given that this data is already shared/available, the ability to display your completion percentage directly on your activity in STRAVA would be a nice addition.

Thanks for the reply! I didn't know about citystrides, so I'll look into that now. This suggestion can likely be changed to what you're suggesting and having that % completion data show in Strava. Would be a nice addition to the heat map!

I'm with @MattS_bsb I think you can do what you are asking for with a personal heatmap

@VikK the Cityscapes is bang on for what I was looking for. I'm not on Strava Premium, so no heat map for me
