Where do I set an activity as a race (So I get rid of Moving Time)

WesPlate

Moving Time is useless, I never want the time from my watch to be different than what Strava shows. So when I need to get rid of the moving time and only use elapsed time, I set an activity to be a Race. BUT-- I went to do that today and the option isn't there.

I have options for Sport, Map Type, Tags, and Shows. Where did activity type go (it had options for Workout, Long Run, Race)?

I found a way around this that solved my problem

I had the thought to change the Sport from Trail Run to Run, to see what it did.
Changing that caused the Run Type popup to return!
And it remained after switching Sport back to Trail Run.

Now I can set this activity to a Race for the purposes of finding these distances!
How far in was I at 7hrs 21 mins? Approx 18.4 miles. Thank you Strava!

Auto-pause is not enabled on my watch. Perhaps you miss what I'm talking about.

I record on my watch, auto-pause not enabled.
I upload to Strava, it processes and shows two times: Moving Time and Elapsed Time. The two are different.
I want Strava to show me the elapsed time.
One way to do that is to set a run as a Race.

For some reason I cannot set this activity as a race. Therefore this post.

When auto pause is off for me, the times are different only when I stand still.

because I'm not moving. and that is important to know. because I'm not running. so that's why they include it.
