The Runner Study: Strava

Dr. Nadine Schuurman

We're researchers in Vancouver, Canada, trying to uncover what makes certain running routes special. You can learn more about the principal investigator here.

Providing us access to your Strava profile helps us learn how runners choose and describe their favourite routes. We won't do anything evil with your data.

Join over 250 runners that have already contributed 1.3 million kilometers of runs with 14 million meters of elevation gain! That's about 33 times around the earth, and over 2000 Everests!

Data collection from Strava has been reviewed and approved by the Office of Research Ethics at Simon Fraser University (approval #2018s0285). As part of the review process, we outlined our intention to store all data securely on a server that is used exclusively by university researchers. The data will be destroyed upon completion of the study. If you have any questions about the data collection, storage or analysis, please contact Dr. Nadine Schuurman: nadine@sfu.ca
