Reporting Content on Strava for Violations of Our Community Standards

We take the safety of our community seriously. We rely on our members to behave in accordance with our Community Standards and adhere to the Terms of Service, but unfortunately they sometimes do not. Because of that, we have a community reporting tool you can use to report violations of these standards and terms. Below are instructions on how to use them depending on what you need to report.

• • Activities
  • Clubs
  • Comments
  • Messages
  • Segments
  • Photos
  • Posts
  • Profiles

Note: When submitting a report, it is important to select the right reason as this gives us more context about the situation you are reporting and helps the Strava Trust & Safety team investigate faster and more accurately. We ask you not to make inauthentic reports for no reason other than to disrupt another member's experience, as we monitor reports to spot malicious reporting against athletes.

How to Report an Activity

To report an activity for a content violation, such as an inappropriate activity title or description, please contact us here. We also have an option to flag an activity; however, our activity flagging tool should only be used for issues with the activity itself, for example, bad GPS data or an incorrect activity type. Please read our guidelines for the appropriate use of the activity flag tool.
