Three short steps to the leaderboard. You'll set up a tiny personal
Strava app, copy two values out of it, and send everything to Freddy.
Around five minutes — the only fiddly bit is the form, which is
spelled out here word-for-word.
Step 0 · Access code
Friends only
This dossier is for invited runners only. Ask Freddy in the group chat
if you weren't given the code — short word, all lowercase.
Step 1 of 3
Create your personal Strava app
Strava caps a shared app at one connected athlete, so we sidestep that
by each having our own — it's free, takes a minute, and only you ever
see the credentials.
Tap the button below to open Strava's API settings page in a new tab.
Log in with your usual Strava account, then fill in the form using
the exact values listed (tap any value here to copy it).
Keep that Strava tab open after you create the app —
Step 2 reads your Client ID and Secret from it.

Authorization Callback Domain — last field
fbmedoc.github.io
✓ fbmedoc.github.io
✗ https://fbmedoc.github.io
✗ fbmedoc.github.io/
✗ fbmedoc.github.io/Marathon-Du-Medoc-Dashboard
Just the domain. No https://, no slash,
no path — Strava adds the rest itself. Different from the Website
field above. If you put anything else, Step 2 will fail with a
"redirect_uri mismatch" error.
After you hit Create, Strava asks for an app icon. Any
square image works — a screenshot of your phone home screen, your
face, a wine bottle — we never see it.
Step 2 of 3
Paste your two credentials
Switch back to the Strava API tab you opened in Step 1. Right at the
top of that page, under "My API Application", you'll
see your Client ID (a 6-digit number) and a hidden
Client Secret. Click Show next to the secret
to reveal the 40-character string, then paste both into the fields
below.
The button sends you to Strava, where you click Authorize to
grant read-only access to your runs. Strava then redirects you back to
this page — Step 3 happens automatically.
Step 3 of 3
Just a moment…
Converting Strava's one-time code into a long-lived refresh token.
Tap WhatsApp Freddy below — the message is pre-filled
with all three values. Just hit send. Freddy adds them as GitHub
Secrets and you appear on the leaderboard within an hour.
