Edit Activity Type for Courses

I've used Connect to create a number of courses over the years, but some of them show the activity as 'running' (which I don't do) rather than cycling. I guess this was just user error.

The courses seem to work fine on the whole, but I've sometimes found the 'running' ones try to take me down footpaths/bridleways, even if I click 'follow roads' when creating the course. This doesn't happen for 'cycling' courses.

I've been into 'edit' but can't see a way of changing from running to cycling after I've created a course. Anyone able to help?
  • On the Garmin Connect website (which you seem to be using):
    1) Select Course, Click 3 dots > Edit
    2) Under the Elevation tab, scroll down until you see Course Type. If that doesn't work, click on the Pace Calculator tab.
    3) Change Course Type
    4) Save changes

    In the app:
    1) Select course
    2) Tap "3 bullet list" icon
    3) Tap Details
    4) Tap Course Type
    5) Change course type
    6) Press Back a few times until the course is saved
