A Few Important Details
- You must be a member of the FCRC Segment Traildown Group. If you are taking part and have not yet joined, please do so ASAP.
- To match a segment, your GPS track must go through the segment start point, follow the segment path in the correct direction, and pass through the segment end point. It is recommended that you run through the start and end of the segment so there is no resting time in your segment effort. For more detailed info about how matching works, click here. For your segment effort to appear on the public leaderboards and be ranked in the FCRC Segment Traildown, the activity containing this effort must be set to Everyone. You can change this setting on the web or the mobile app:
Web: Go to the Activity > Edit (pencil icon) > Privacy Controls > Select Everyone*
iOS/Android: Go to the Activity > Edit > Privacy Controls > Select Everyone*If a segment starts or ends within your hidden map area, it will not display on public leaderboards. There was a recent change on Strava to map visibility settings for all athletes where the first and last 200 meters of your activity maps will be hidden by default. If you wish to update an individual activity’s map, learn more here.If you are looking for details about why a specific segment did not match your activity, visit the activity on the Strava website and scroll down to the bottom of the list of segments. Click the link ‘Don’t see the segment you’re looking for?’ to open the Potential Segment Match Analysis tool.Strava’s support team can help with missing segments, don’t be afraid to reach out.
You must run the routes in the direction they are mentioned. CW is clockwise, CCW is counterclockwise.
