A

Upload their GPX, TCX or FIT files

If you can see the activity on their Strava, because you follow each other or it's public, that's enough. You don't need their password or account access at all.

Can you only view the activity, not log in as them? That's fine. Open the activity on Strava, tap the ··· menu in the top right of the activity page, and choose Export GPX. It downloads straight to your device. No password is required and they won't get a notification.

Upload multiple files at once to build a heatmap with all their activities on a single poster.

1

Open the activity on Strava and export the GPX file (see the screenshot on the right)

2

Upload it in the editor: one route or a full heatmap

3

Customize the style, colors and text, then order

B

Use their Strava

Send them a special link. They authorize with Strava, without sharing their password, and a link comes back to you so you can build the poster.

1

Send the link

Share the link below via WhatsApp, SMS or email.

2

They authorize

They connect with Strava and send a link back to you. The link expires, so don't wait too long.

3

Build the poster

Click the link they send back to open the editor with their activities loaded.

Common questions about gifting

I can see their activity on Strava, but I don't have their password. Is that enough?

Yes. If you can open the activity page, because you follow each other or the activity is public, use the ··· menu on that page and choose Export GPX. It downloads to your own device with your own Strava login. Upload that file with Option A above to build the poster.

Will they be notified if I export or view their activity?

No. Viewing an activity or exporting its GPX file is a normal Strava action and doesn't send them any notification. It's a safe way to keep the poster a complete surprise.

What if I can't see the activity at all?

If the activity is set to private and you can't open it, GPX export isn't possible. In that case, use Option B above: send them the gift link, they authorize with Strava themselves (no password shared with you), and a link is sent back to you to build the poster.

Do they need a Strava account at all?

No. If they use Garmin, Apple Watch, Runkeeper or another app, most of these let you (or them) export a GPX, TCX or FIT file directly. Upload it the same way as a Strava export.
