Automatic Grade Control: Experience up to a 15% incline and a 3% decline, automatically adjusting when connected to compatible apps, mirroring the rolling hills of your favorite routes.
Target Pace Control: Train at the exact pace your workout prescribes with the quick touch of the speed control paddle, to acknowledge the change in pace.

Chip Hawkins, Founder of Wahoo Fitness, commented: “I am delighted to see KICKR RUN finally come to market. I've been a runner for many years and have used a treadmill as a tool when required, but I never really enjoyed it or achieved the training gains I required. So I have been working behind the scenes with a very talented group of Wahooligans developing KICKR RUN for over 7 years to transform indoor running. As passionate runners we wanted to create the most realistic experience and create a tool that helps our customers improve, become better athletes and achieve their goals..”
Discover the true potential of your run with the KICKR RUN Smart Treadmill, where every run is a true reflection of you.
