To automatically retrieve your Strava activities into your Run Romania account

please use the “Connect with Strava” button at the bottom of this page

How does it work

After you press the “Connect with Strava” button, you’ll be redirected to the Strava website; if you’re not already authenticated into your Strava account, you’ll have to do so, by using your Strava password (and not via Facebook or Google). After authentication, you’ll be presented with the invitation to connect your Strava and Run Romania accounts. Leave both boxes checked and press “Authorize”.

After that, you’ll be redirected to this page, where on the bottom row you’ll see the confirmation message: “Connected to Strava” and you’ll have a link to get back into your Run Romania account.

After authorization

The activities created manually until the authorization date will remain in your Run Romania account. From that date on, you’ll be able to manage, from your Strava account, two types of actions which wil reflect into your Run Romania account: activities creation or deletion.

When you create an activity, the following sports are automatically retrieved: Run or Virtual Run, Walk or Hike, Ride or Virtual Ride, Swim, Inline Skate, Alpine Ski, Backcountry Ski, Ice Skate, Roller Ski, Snowboard, Snowshoe, Nordic Ski and Canoe, Kayaking, Rowing, StandUp Paddling. If you save in Strava any other type of activity, it won’t be automatically imported into your Run Romania account.

You could also delete an activity from your Strava account, and it will also be automatically deleted from your Run Romania account (if it was created after the authorization date and defined as one of the sports categories mentioned above).

If you create or delete an activity in your Run Romania account, it won’t be created or deleted in your Strava account.

Both for activities creation or deletion in your Strava account, there is a very small latency until they’re reflected into your Run Romania account. Changes aren’t instantaneous, but it takes a little while until they’re synchronized.

Participants who don’t use Strava can always manually add their activities into their Run Romania account (by pressing the green plus sign on the right of your activities list).

If you wish to disconnect your Strava and Run Romania accounts

You can revoke at any time the automatic retrieval of your Strava activities into your Run Romania account, by pressing the Disconnect link in the later or via Settings > My Apps https://www.strava.com/settings/apps in the former.
