KICKR RUN is professionally delivered, assembled and installed by a premium service provider at the customer’s preferred location.
Chip Hawkins, Founder of Wahoo Fitness, commented: “I am delighted that KICKR RUN will soon be landing in customers homes and training spaces over the coming weeks. 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.”
Gareth Joyce, CEO of Wahoo Fitness, commented: “The launch represents an exciting new chapter for Wahoo Fitness, as we expand into the running category. KICKR RUN diversifies our product offering, reaching a new audience and we are developing new relationships with partners in the running community. We’re excited to continue innovating to help all athletes reach their full potential.”
Discover the true potential of your run with the KICKR RUN Smart Treadmill, where every run is a true reflection of you.
KICKR RUN is planned to launch in 2025 in Germany and the UK.
