Get your Strava artist creativity flowing as we start 2023!!

During the first week in January the challenge is to use the Strava app to write one or several of the letters that spell

Welcome to GoodGym Liverpool 2023

Strava Art is made using your GPS to create a picture of your activity whether it's cycling, running, swimming, walking, hiking, skiing... anything really! Your activity is then synced with strava.com to reveal your artwork!

You can also link up your Strava to your GoodGym profile so we can cheer you on as you run/walk/cycle your way through 2023.
(Your activity then appears in the feed of anyone following you on the GoodGym website, but it only shows the name of the activity and the miles/Km, it doesn't show the route you took or provide any ink through to your Strava account so your privacy is held!)

//How to take part in this Challenge!

• Make sure you have the Strava app on your phone/watch

• Link your Strava account to your GoodGym profile through your profile settings (you can still take part in the challenge without doing this step, it just makes it more fun for everyone to be able to cheer each other on!)

• Choose your letter and plan your route on a map, either running, walking or cycling!

• Go to your start point, start Strava, and go go go! (don’t forget to stop Strava at the end your letter route!)

• Double check your Strava app to make sure the picture has worked out well, sometimes the GPS can get a little glitchy

• Take a screen shot of your fabulous new piece of Strava Art and send it to Ema via WhatApp or email by Sunday 8th January (though it's really helpful to send them as soon as you've done them too!)

You can choose to do one letter or pick a bunch, and if you're feeling extra creative you can add any images in too, maybe the GG logo or a figure of someone running, or a bike, go wild and enjoy! Just make sure you stop and start your Strava at the beginning and end of each letter/image

Then when I've got all the pictures of your Strava art I'll do a collage to spell out
