Garmin Connect Strava Segment Upload/Import Issue

Hello,

I would like to use my downloaded Strava segments to create Garmin Connect segments. I CAN upload complete activities and create courses using exported .gpx files from Strava to Connect, but I've had no luck creating Connect segments using downloaded Strava Segments.

I have tried creating them using the following steps:

1. Open The Connect Web App via the Garmin Express desktop app.

2. I click Training -> Segments -> Upload or Import (icon is a cloud with an up arrow) -> select Import Data.

3. Tried both 'drag and drop' and 'Browse' to add files to the box.

4.. click Import Data.

Results:

When importing a .fit file I receive this message: "One of your files was not accepted by the system. Please contact Support for assistance."

When importing a .gpx file I receive this message: "An error occurred with your upload. Please try again."

Is there a solution to this?

Thanks in advance!

As you can read on the Import page, it is desgined for the import of Activity files, or of Fitbit Activity or body data. You cannot import Strava Segments.

In fact you do not need to import Strava Segments at all. You can enable them in Garmin Connect:
