Strava events marked as "Race" not persisting

Hi, I’ve noticed recently that when I mark a ride as a “race”, moments later it loses that tag.

Not sure if it is since the Zwift integration, but it unchecks itself within a minute or checking the box.

Tested and a walk via Garmin seems to persist if tagged as race.
Any zwift activity seems to lose the tag.

I’ve had the same issue with Strava activities that originated in Zwift. Using Intervals, I tag the acitivity as a race and a few minutes later they are untagged.

Hopefully, this can be fixed soon.

I’ve removed the connection from Intervals to Zwift, refreshed the activity page and races are persisting as races, so it is related to the Zwift connection from Intervals.
I’m not actually sure at this time why I need the two linked.

@C_Falberg - this is what has worked for me as a temporary solution.

Actually, it hasn’t fixed it at all. Still the same without the Zwift connection.
@david - any ideas?

It might be related to the “Keep non-Strava activities in sync with Strava” in the Strava box in /settings. If the activity is not a race on Strava and you have that box ticked then the change on the Zwift activity will be undone.

Thanks, just trying with that setting off. I think it’s persisting now.
I couldn’t even see where in Strava an activity was marked as a race.

Noticed the same problem this week with Zwift workouts. I have sync with Zwift and Strava. Activity from January 16th marked as race does not reset this mark. Activities this week marked as race reset after refreshing the page. This did not happen before and I did not change the settings. In Strava I can not set the race mark in the workout settings for virtual rides.

Recorded a video.

Disabled the setting “Keep non-Strava activities in sync with Strava” and the race mark is not reset, but I do not yet fully understand what else this can affect.
Also, today’s race did not appear in the Races list.

Yep same here. In Strava, I can’t mark a virtual ride as a race, so I do that in Intervals. After a few minutes it’s unmarked as a race in Intervals again.
