Non-running sports on Strava — the complete guide

Strava was built around running. If you do anything else, this is the guide for posting your sport in a way that actually shows what happened.

What works out of the box

Activity type, duration, calories, photos and text description work for every sport. That is the baseline.

What is consistently missing

  • Scores and results
  • Sport-specific metrics (depth, freefall, division, PR)
  • Partner / opponent context
  • Location detail beyond GPS

Per-sport gaps in the feed

  • Padel — score, partner, club
  • HYROX — division, splits
  • Strength — top sets, PRs
  • Diving — depth, site, time
  • Skydiving — exit altitude, freefall, discipline
  • Tennis — set scores, surface
  • Golf — score, course, fairways

How to close the gap

Use a sport-specific cover image. UPPOST generates one per sport in under a minute.

FAQ

Is Strava worth it for non-runners?

Yes — for community, weekly totals and history. The feed just needs help to show what happened.

Do I need a paid Strava subscription?

No. UPPOST works on both free and paid Strava.
