Sponsored Challenges

Motivate people to move.


Sponsored challenges allow brands to set goals for active people and provide motivation in their lives.

Get Started
Strava challenge

Get in front of your active audience

You offer the Challenge – be it based on distance, time or something else related to your brand – and the incentive, e.g. a discount or an entry to a grand prize drawing. Athletes see the challenge and join it – and their followers will see that they’ve done so.

Challenges appear naturally on the Strava platform and are a proven way to promote awareness, drive revenue and build your audience.

Sponsored Challenges increase brand recall by an average of 133%*
