Verified Athlete Badges on Strava

Verified Badge on Strava

The Verified Badge shows the Strava community they’ve discovered a profile that will regularly upload activities and content - no matter how big or small - that inspire, motivate and support their active lives.  The badge exists to recognize public figures, noteworthy community builders, and influential individuals around the world.  Verification signals authenticity, notability, and influence.  A verified athlete badge does not imply an endorsement by Strava.

Who is eligible for the Strava Verified Badge?

Strava verifies well-known figures with mass public appeal in interest areas such as sports, government, business, fashion, media, music, and art. These individuals are generally but not always verified on other social networks, like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, or LinkedIn.
