Use Strava to record your Blocktober activities

Join us in October 2025 to support victims of Gender Based Violence (GBV) through solidarity, exercise and donations 

1) Record your activities in support of Blocktober on Strava

  • This builds a sense of community and joint effort in solidarity and awareness‑raising. 

  • Record your activity on Strava on your device and join a Blocktober Club.

  • If you didn't use Strava before, install the Strava app from Google Play or App Store and create a free account and then record your activity.
  • If you can't record on your device or forgot to, add the activity manually or with the help of a friendHow to?

2) Join these Blocktober Sister Clubs

  • Search for "Blocktober" under Groups → Club and join all three Blocktober Clubs. This will cover you for all these sporting options.


Blocktober Cycling
incl road, MTB, gravel, virtual and e‑bike.


Blocktober   Run / Walk / Hike

including virtual; trail runs count as runs.
👉 Join the Run/Walk/Hike club


Blocktober Swim
Pool and open‑water


3) Make your activities count

  • Strava Settings → Privacy controls, set Activities = Everyone.

  • When recording, choose one of sport type listed above.

  • When giving a title to recorded activities, include “Blocktober – Day X” for easy recognition.

4) How we track October activities

  • Each club shows a weekly leaderboard (current + last week).

  • If you join a Blocktober Club we’ll add up time and distance across participants to show the overall effort. We will do so every Sunday in October at 20:00 (SAST) and roll up weekly totals into a joint leaderboard shared on the blog/club feed.

  • If you do not want to appear in standings, set your visibility to Only You.
