Corrupted Garmin File - Any solutions?

Did my longest run in 18 months at 23km

So want to register it properly

On the watch it's registered
- Full Steps
- Full Distance
- Full time

But the file is corrupted and looks like it only recorded the actual route up to Lap 16 (16 km) when I paused

Is it just a manual upload or is there anyway of getting the full route available

Might be repairable using a 3rd party app. If you attach the file to your post, we might be able to assist you.

Zip the file, then in a reply post Insert >> Image/video/file >> click Upload >> browse for file >> OK.
Or upload the fit file to a reputable file sharing service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, make the file public, then paste a link to the file in your post.
Or if you'd rather your activity was private, you can send me a private message.

First of all, nice run!

There was 1 timestamp with erroneous GPS coordinates at around 16.7 km.

Deleted the timestamp using Fit File Repair Tool

Results in a 23.06 km run - [solved]

The Forerunner 35 has a history of this type of issue, but to help minimize the occurrence of corrupt fit files you can try these suggestions:

Avoid pressing stop or pause during an activity.
Sync your watch, backup the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder, then do a full master reset of your Forerunner 35 using these directions - Restoring All Default Settings.
Perform a weekly cleanup of the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder using these directions - Removing Recorded Activities to Free Up Space. The F35 seems to have problems with longer activities, so this step is important before a longer event.
Check for firmware updates using Garmin Express.
