Strava and Garmin are strong partners when it comes to training tracks, so for those of you looking to enhance the experience of tracking your training, this integration is a fantastic choice. This allows you to track your runs, rides, and other activities more efficiently while taking advantage of Strava’s in-depth analytics and community of athletes.
This tutorial will show you how to complete this process in a few easy steps. If you already have a Strava account linked to the Garmin Smartwatch and a route-compatible Garmin device, you can explore new routes effectively and conveniently. Let’s begin!
Steps to link your Garmin Connect account to Strava
The following steps will guide you through linking your Garmin Connect account to Strava:
-
Click on to the Garmin Connect website (connect.garmin.com) and log in to your account. If you don’t already have a Garmin Connect account, you will need to create one.
-
After logging in, go to your account settings. This can usually be done by clicking on your username or profile photo at the top right of the page.
-
Within your account settings, look for an option or section related to “Third-Party Apps and Devices” or something similar. You will usually find a list of apps and services linked to your Garmin Connect account.
-
Scroll down the list of third-party apps and find Strava.
-
Click the option to connect Strava to your Garmin Connect account.
-
You will be redirected to the Strava login page.
-
Log in to your Strava account or, if you don’t already have one, create an account.
-
After logging into Strava, you will be asked to authorize the connection between the two accounts (Garmin Connect and Strava).
-
Make sure you read the terms and conditions if necessary and click “Authorize” or something similar to allow the two accounts to connect.
-
After authorizing the connection, you should receive confirmation that your accounts were successfully linked.
From this point on, your activities recorded on your Garmin Connect device, such as runs or bike rides, will automatically sync to your Strava account.
This means you no longer need to manually upload activities to Strava, as they automatically transfer whenever you sync your Garmin device with Garmin Connect.
