When tried accessing the Strava website, and seems like even their site is down at the moment (Update: it’s back up now, but dashboard still isn’t accessible to many).

For it’s part, the team behind the “social network for athletes” hasn’t said anything, but we are looking for more info, and will update the story with relevant details soon.

Official word: Strava has acknowledged the problem and is currently investigating.

We were able to access the status page for Strava, where – in addition to confirming the problem and revealing investigations are ON – the company has also revealed it’s a major outage affecting their website, API, and uploads.

The company has provided another update, but nothing new.

We are continuing to investigate this issue

Another update. Strava now says the issue has been identified.
