Track Your Activities: Connecting to Strava

Strava is a free application that tracks a user's activities, including runs, walks, and rides. Strava can be downloaded from Google Play and Apple App Store. 

By utilizing Strava, Run United participants can have their activities automatically tracked in OneCause. If you have previously used Strava with a previous Run United Virtual Marathon, your accounts are likely still linked. If 

Step 1: Download the Strava App on your phone and create an account.

Step 2: Log-in to the 2025 Run United Virtual Marathon OneCause page.

Step 3: Hover over "Get Involved" on the top menu. 

Step 4: Select "Track Miles"

Step 5: Select the orange "Link my Strava Account" button

Step 6: Follow the prompts to log-in to Strava and link your accounts (this will likely open a pop-up window).

Step 7: Refresh the "Track Miles" page and you should receive a message that reads "Your account has been connected to Strava for automatic entry of your fitness activities"

Please note that your Strava account must be public for your activities to be automatically added to OneCause.

In Strava, be sure to track your activities exactly as they appear in OneCause (Run, Walk, Ride, etc.). Fitness activities that do not match (i.e. "Hike") will not be imported. 

Strava is not required track miles - activities can also be tracked manually in OneCause. If Strava tracking issues occur, go back to "Edit Your Profile", select "Your Strava Account is Linked", and select "Reauthorize". If issues persist, contact RunUnited@UnitedWaySEM.org.
