Eliud's Running World.

How to Export your run

In order to submit your run to Eliud's cause, you'll need a .FIT file. On this page you'll find instructions on how to export that from popular apps and devices.

  2. In the left sidebar, click ActivitiesAll Activities.
  3. Click the title of the activity you want to export to open its detail page.
  4. Click the gear icon (⚙) in the top-right corner of the activity page.
  5. Select Export Original. This downloads a .zip file containing your .FIT file.
  6. Unzip the downloaded file — your .fit file is inside.

Tip: Exporting via the mobile app is not supported. You must use the Strava website on a desktop browser.

Apple Watch / Apple Health

Third-party tool required

Apple does not offer a native .FIT export option. You will need a third-party app to do this.

  1. Download an app such as HealthFit or RunGap from the App Store.
  2. Grant the app access to your Apple Health data.
  3. Select the activity you want to export.
  4. Choose Export as FIT and save or share the file.
Is your app or device not listed above?

Not every fitness app or device supports .FIT export, but here are some general options that might help:

  1. RunGap (iOS/Android) — acts as a hub for syncing and exporting workouts between many fitness platforms, often with .FIT export support.
  2. SyncMyTracks (Android) — lets you export and convert workouts from many apps to .FIT format.

If none of these work for you, try searching for it. Many apps have community guides or third-party sync tools available.
