Strava

How athletes can tell entire story of activity
The “VIDEO” feature

About Strava

Strava is the largest sports community in the world.
Over 100 million athletes in 195 countries use Strava – so whatever your activity and goals, you’ll have a community at your back. Athletes on the Strava app or website can record over 30 types of activities with features to help them explore, connect and measure their progress. Strava athletes upload everything from walks around the block to Tour de France stage wins. If you’re out there going for it, you’re one of Straviolis 😉
