Import sportive route as a Garmin Connect course

I am new to Garmin devices and Garmin connect - I have an Edge 1000

I cannot work out how to import the route of a sportive that I will be doing in order to use it as a course and to download it to my Garmin.

This seems like such a natural thing to do with Garmin Connect that it seems peculiar that it is not obviously available

    You cannot import a file into Garmin Connect.
    I had the same problem, and still do. Here is what you have to do:

    Download the file from whatever service you are using (TCX or GPX)

    Connect your Edge to your pc via usb port.

    Copy the file onto the Edge:
    There is a folder labelled Garmin on the root.
    Copy the file to the
    Garmin\New Files
    folder.

    Eject your edge. Start it up. It will process these new files, and that can take a while, so patience is advised.

    Now, you will be able to see the route if you browse for courses.
