What’s the point of Garmin segments for runners?

Isn’t there a way to only show the leaderboard for runners?

That's how it is supposed to work, and does work as long as everyone uses the right activity type. Unfortunately there are people either cheating deliberately, or recording a ride as a run by mistake, or they use Edge supporting only cycling for running anyway (and yes, I do know such people exist). Sure Garmin could introduce at least some basic algorithms, eliminating some excessive cheating (I recommend suggesting it to Garmin at Share Ideas | Garmin), but it would never be 100% accurate anyway. You best simply ignore the cheaters and focus on your own ranking, or use segments on tracks inaccessible to bikes, skaters, scooters, etc.

Thanks! A little disappointing because scrolling down to comparable results is tough as many entries are super unrealistic good. I’ll stay with Strava for that.
