Add racewalk category

[Vendeira]

Hi athletes!

I've made some reports about Strava don't have the Racewalk category,with all the option of run category. As a racewalker I do running and walk as well, and have this category could have much more perception of trainning grow an could compare tracks with other racewalkers. Like that we are in disadvantage with other Strava sports categories...

Strava answered that it could be possible, but to do that I must post in ideas and have a big support in comunity! Please vote and comment for have this category on Strava!

I agree it would be great to have a Racewalk activity type. As it is, I use "Running" because "Walking" doesn't focus on what I consider important in a racewalk activity. Thank you for posting the idea.

I wish this had been implemented as I both run and racewalk competitively.

Have to use run instead of walk, but conflates with my run activities and doesn’t represent the true effort of race walking.

surely it could be a sub category of running, such as track or trail, etc?
