You could [Request Data Export](https://www.garmin.com/en-US/account/datamanagement/exportdata) from Garmin…  
They’ll send you a zip file full of 💩 which will have a folder structure like:  
`DI_CONNECT/DI-Connect-Fitness-Uploaded-Files/UploadedFiles_0-_Part1`  
(with `Part1` continuing in other folders like `Part2` etc)…  
Those `UploadedFiles_0-_Part*` folders will contain fit files that you can semi-bulk upload into Runkeeper (I think it’s 100 at a time)

There’s this idea of [Manual Upload](https://community.citystrides.com/t/manual-upload/19965) in #Ideas that could use votes… it’s an old thread that came up at a time when I was really running up against Strava’s API limits, so a lot of the conversation in that thread is tied to that issue. I don’t have a good sense of the work to impact ratio on that 🙁 so the vote count helps _a lot_.
