Racing a Segment
Segments are virtual race courses. You can race a segment, and compare your performance to past activities,
others' performance, connections in your Garmin Connect account, or other members of the running or cycling
communities. You can upload your activity data to your Garmin Connect account to view your segment position.
NOTE: If your Garmin Connect account and Strava account are linked, your activity is automatically sent to your
Strava account so you can review the segment position.
