Want to show off your latest Strava activity on Instagram and let friends check it out themselves? Here’s a step-by-step guide to sharing your activity directly to your Instagram story—with a clickable link.
🏃 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Start from the Strava App
- Open the Strava app.
- Tap on the activity you want to share (run, ride, etc.). Requires a map or photo uploaded.
- Hit the share icon (box with arrow) from the activity screen.
Step 2: Choose Instagram Stories
- The share sheet will pop up with options.
- Scroll across to find the Instagram Stories asset.
- Tap the Instagram icon labeled “Stories.”
⏱ Note: There may be a short delay (1-2 seconds) while the asset loads.
Step 3: Customize Your Story in Instagram
- Instagram will open automatically with your Strava activity already displayed.
- Tap the sticker icon at the top of the screen.
- Select the “Link” sticker from the sticker options.
Step 4: Add the Strava Link
- Tap the URL field.
- Tap Paste to insert the Strava link (it’s automatically copied from Strava).
- Tap “Done” once the link is added.
💡Pro Tip: Customize your sticker text! On the same page where you add your URL, you’ll have the option to customize your sticker text.
Step 5: Final Touches
- Move the link sticker wherever you want on your story.
- You can also add text, emojis, or GIFs.
- Once you're happy, tap “Your Story” to share it!
🚨 What Happens Next:
When someone taps your story link and has the Strava app installed, they’ll be taken straight to your activity and prompted to follow you on Strava.
This isn’t just about showing off your workout—it’s about building your Strava community, right from Instagram.
