FIT File Viewer: will fix this one. Runs in the browser and is able to fix files in a lot of cases. Developed by forum member HarryOnline. I tested your run and it was able to fix it.

I was able to upload to my own account without any issues. However, the import feature appeared to be down during the time you posted this.

No- can’t get it to load into Strava or garmin. Garmin error message is “we don’t support the file type you tried to import” even though it’s FIT and Strava says “the upload appears to be malformed”….

No still doesn’t work.

garmin says it doesn’t support the file type - even though it’s an FIT file from a garmin watch

Strava says “the upload appears to be malformed”…..

can you add me as someone who ran with you? I’ll accept then you can delete it?

There is currently an issue with Strava as per the status page - Garmin Connect | Status

Nonetheless, I was still able to manually upload your file to strava - www.strava.com/.../select

Can you add me to your upload- I’ll accept and then you can delete?

You can private message me.

Also, the activity you attached is from March 11. Is that correct?

Personally, I would just try again tomorrow. There are some issues today that could impact your upload.
