Perfect for fitness bloggers, athletes, and anyone sharing their Strava accomplishments.

Finding Your Activity ID

2. Look at the URL: https://www.strava.com/activities/182316148
3. The number at the end is your activity ID

Special Features

Automatic URL Processing

All of these work the same way:

{{< strava "182316148" >}}
{{< strava "https://www.strava.com/activities/182316148" >}}
{{< strava "https://www.strava.com/activities/182316148/" >}}

All extract the numeric ID and produce identical output.

Lazy Script Loading

The Strava embed script is only loaded when needed:

• Strava script loads only once per page
• Improves page performance by preventing unnecessary loading

Privacy Considerations

Public Activities Only

Only public Strava activities can be embedded. Private activities will not render.

To make an activity public:

1. Open your activity on Strava
2. Click the privacy icon
3. Change visibility to “Public”
