EVENT DESCRIPTION
PACK runners are taking it to the next level with our hilly social. That's right, we are going to be using the incline buttons and tackling some of the major climbs on zwift!

The pace will vary with the terrain, but flats and downhills will never exceed 10.2kph. This is a social run with the goal that everyone stick together. If some of the gradients are too challenging for you, feel free to decrease the incline, but don't make it too easy.

Note: We will not always be matching zwift gradients, so it is important to pay attention to the instructions. Typically the adjusted incline will be half of what is being displayed in the upper right hand corner.

As a general guide:
--------------------------
0 - 1% = 10.2kph / 6.3 mph
2% - 9.9 kph / 6.2 mph
3% = 9.7 kph / 6.0 mph
4% = 9.3 kph / 5.8 mph
5% = 9 kph / 5.6 mph
6% = 8.7 kph / 5.4 mph
7% = 7.4 kph / 5.2 mph
--------------------------

If you'd like zwift to record your elevation in the fit file, you'll need to either have a direct connect treadmill or use an app like Pascal's Runcline for iOS,TSS app for iOS, or TST for android. You can find Runcline by searching the iOS app store.

Finally, if the hills don't wear you out, there will be an optional 500 meter sprint to the finish and optional after party of 2-4km to boot!

So let's get out there and tackle those hills!
