How to turn off the 'Track Detection' feature?

Hi all,

After my track sessions I usually run barefoot at the football pitch but while all my previous Garmins detected it well the 970 insists that I am running at the track messing up the distance and, consequently, the pace.

Is there any way to avoid this happening?

I always select 'Track Run' for the track sessions and either 'Run' or 'Trail Run' for these barefoot cool down sessions on grass.

Thank you all in advance!

On the run profile you are using (not the track profile), scroll down to "Run Settings" and within this menu you will see "Track Detection"

Hummmm, not finding this... I've checked the standard 'Run' and also 'Trail Run' profiles and "Track Detection" is not available anywhere....

Try this, from the time of day, press the top right button and select run. Within the Run activity landing page, scroll down to run settings and select it. Then scroll down a few times and you should see Track Detection.

Thanks. Found on Run but not on Trail Run... Let's see if this affects both...

Cheers
