How do I keep track of how many miles I've done?

add remove

Strava is a free and easy way to track your walks and share your progress with your supporters and team members. We’d recommend downloading the Strava App and joining the Connells Group SLT Strava Group to log your activity and compete each week on the club’s leaderboard!

To make sure your walks appear in the Strava group feed, please ensure your Strava activity visibility is set to “Everyone” so the whole SLT can see and celebrate your progress.

We can also send you our paper tracker, if you prefer log your kms this way.

Don’t forget to post on your fundraising page to update your team and supporters by writing a blog, share a picture or upload a video!
