How to Export a GPX File from Strava

A run, a ride, a day worth remembering. Download your own GPS activity from the Strava website in a desktop browser. Activity export is on the website, not in the Strava mobile app.

01

Sign in on the website

Open strava.com in your browser and sign in to the account that owns the activity.

02

Open the activity

Find the run, ride or hike in your activities and open its full activity page.

03

Export GPX

Open the More menu (three dots) and choose Export GPX.

04

Save your route

Your browser downloads a .gpx file. Locate it in Downloads and keep it ready for the editor.

Good to know

Use an activity with recorded GPS data. A workout without GPS may produce an empty or unusable GPX. Export Original can download a different format; select Export GPX. Review your route before sharing: GPX coordinates may reveal personal locations.
