How to add Strava activity with the help of a FRIEND or MANUALLY

Can't record an activity on your device? Or forgot to? No problem! You can add the activity in two ways:

Add Others.

Option 1 - A friend's help

If you did the activity with a friend who recorded it on Strava: (a) Ask them to follow you on Strava (search your name and click on the right person, and Follow). (b) Ask them to edit the activity, click Add Others, and add you. (c) Accept the activity on your device.

Option 2 - Add the activity manually.

On a Mobile app (iOS/Android)

• + (Add) → Manual Activity.

• Sport type → pick the correct one (Run/Walk/Swim/Ride, etc.).

• Fill in: Start time, Duration, Distance, Title (start "Blocktober Day X").

• Privacy → set Everyone (so it shows on leaderboards).

• Save.

On the Web (desktop browser)

• Top right + → Add manual activity.

• Sport type → enter Start time, Duration, Distance, Title.

• Set Privacy → Create.

Tips

• Treadmill/Indoor walk/run: enter Duration and (if known) Distance from the treadmill display.

• Swim: enter Duration and Distance (e.g., 1,000 m).

Correct sport + visibility ensures it appears on the right Blocktober club leaderboard.
