How Do I Change My Activity Type?

Learn how to change the sport type for a Strava activity on the website or in the app, and see exactly how switching types can affect your activity data.

You can edit an activity at any time to update the sport type. You may not have had the option to record the correct activity type, or you may have accidentally recorded the wrong type. Keep in mind that you may see changes to your activity analysis due to the new sport type, including which segments you're matched to. Athletes are no longer able to change manual activities to virtual ones. Virtual sport activities must be recorded initially as a virtual activity using a supported virtual trainer or treadmill.

On the Web

  1. Navigate to the activity you wish to edit.

  2. Select the pencil icon on the left side.

  3. Select the drop-down menu under Sport and choose the correct activity type.

  4. Select Save once you're done.

On the Mobile App

  1. If you recorded your activity with the Strava mobile app, you can change it from the activity save screen before you finish and upload it.

  2. If the activity is already saved to your account, open the activity you wish to edit. Tap the ellipsis menu in the upper right corner and select Edit.

  3. Select the current sport type to display the scrolling menu. Search for and select the correct activity type.

  4. Save your changes once you're done.
