Track your progress for your next fitness fundraising challenge

GoFundMe Challenges partners with Strava so you can easily track your progress for your next fitness fundraising challenge. Whether you hike, bike, or run, Strava will record your progress and keep you on track for your fundraising goals. 

Don’t use Strava? You can also manually add your activities from within your GoFundMe account.

How to link your GoFundMe Challenge fundraiser with Strava

Follow these steps to connect to Strava: 

1. Log into your GoFundMe account, click on "Your fundraisers", and select your fitness fundraiser
2. Select the Activity tracking card underneath your goal
3. Select “Track with Strava”
4. Select “Connect with Strava”
5. Log in if you already have a Strava account, or select “Create a new account” if you’re new to Strava
6. Once you’re logged in, you’ll be prompted to “Authorize GoFundMe to connect to Strava”
7. Select what Strava will be able to access (data about your public profile is required), and then select “Authorize”

Once your Strava account is connected, you can record your activity like you usually would, and your miles will automatically be added to your fitness challenge fundraiser.
