This article will guide you through enabling Strava on your platform.
What is it?
Strava allows fundraisers to record and track fitness activity from their Android or iPhone via the Strava App which then appears on Fundraising pages.
Who is it most useful for?
Adding Strava to your website then allows fundraisers to have this data sent directly to their fundraising pages where we can display things like Daily Steps, Distances, and Fitness Duration.
