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 your name/photo on top menu bar. 

Step 4: Select "Edit Profile"

Step 5: Under "Social Accounts" select "Link my Strava Account". 

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

Step 7: Ensure the red button on the Edit Your Profile page indicates your Strava account is linked.

Please note that this feature will not be enabled until the first day of the Run United Virtual Marathon (For 2025: August 11).

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. 

Activities can also be tracked manually in OneCause. If 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.
