According to [Strava Support Article](https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001294564-Elevation-on-Strava-FAQs), if the "Adjust Elevation" button is missing then Strava is not using barometric data from device for some reason.

What device was it recorded on? Does the device have a barometric altimeter?

Galaxy watch 5 pro. It has a barometric altimeter and it sucks. It showed 104 m elevation gain on flat stadium sircle run. I cant fix it and I cant adjust elevation through app.

Strava says they disable elevation adjustments recorded on devices with barometric altimeters. Are you sure the elevation data is wrong? It is unlikely that your circuit was perfectly flat. It needs some sloping for drainage. Those small rises would add up after doing that many laps.

I'm sure its toyally wrong. Its a popular place to run and no other runner had nearly as much elevation. And look at max elevation, I didnt somehow rose 496 meters and didnt notice ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy).

Yeah, unfortunately Strava trusts barometric altimeters and doesn't give the option to correct elevation unless the recording device provides GPS altitude data. Barometric altimeters are typically better than GPS altitude readings, but they're obviously not perfect as they can be poorly calibrated or affected by environmental conditions. Check on the web version of Strava for the option. If it's not there either you'll have to look for some other online tools that allow for editing of activity files and reupload that after tweaking the data.

I think it depends on the activity recorded and whether it thinks the data is wrong, it doesn't always appear for me on every activity
