For years, Strava has been where runners analyse their training after a workout, but with its latest update, the company wants to help you decide what you're training for in the first place.

Not long after launching its Claude integration, Strava has announced a new Events tab inside the app's Groups experience, bringing together local club activities, community events and, for the first time, Runna's extensive race database in a single place.

This means you can browse thousands of races around the world without leaving Strava.

Events can be filtered by distance, date, location, sport, elevation and even expected temperature, making it easier to find an event that matches a specific goal or preferred running conditions.

The move is another step in the integration between Strava and Runna following Strava's acquisition of the training app last year.

While Runna's race directory has been available on the web, this marks the first time it has been built directly into the Strava app, representing the next step in integrating Runna's features into the platform.

More than just races

Strava says the Events tab makes it easier to discover community-led activities by surfacing local club runs, rides, and other group events based on a user's interests and location.

Club events can be filtered by date, distance, format and location, making it easier to find regular meet-ups or one-off community sessions nearby.

Alongside the app update, Strava has also refreshed its Club Organiser Hub, adding new resources designed to help organisers launch, manage and grow local clubs.

It's another sign that the company sees community as one of its biggest differentiators, particularly as more fitness platforms compete to become an all-in-one training destination.

For everyday users, however, the biggest change may simply be that discovering the next event on the calendar is now as easy as recording the last one.

Instead of bouncing between race websites, social media and club pages, you can now browse upcoming events directly within the app many already use every day.
