The Running Event: Austin Texas

ZWIFT x THE RUNNING EVENT IN AUSTIN

If you’re headed down to Austin for TRE, then Zwift’s booth is the one you can’t miss. Pop by to say hi, compete in our daily competitions, and catch the latest gear and news from Zwift Run. We’ll be at TRE on December 4-5.

Wear your running shoes. Because we’re hosting three competitions every day.

SUB 4 Attempt

Anthony Famiglietti, 2x US Olympic Track and Field athlete and professional runner for Reckless Running is attempting to make history by running a sub 4 minute mile on Zwift. Don’t miss the action, it’s all going down at the Zwift Booth.

The attempt will take place December 4th at 10:00am CST at the Zwift Booth.

Run with a Gold Medalist 

2016 Olympic Champion Gwen Jorgensen is hosting a fun run on Zwift from her home in Portland, Oregon. Gwen will be live streamed into the event via video conferencing and will be available to answer questions before the event starts. We have three treadmills available to run with Gwen. Stop by and claim a treadmill to virtually run with a Gold Medalist. 

Event Starts at 11:00am CST at the Zwift Booth. 

Can’t make it to Austin, but still want to run with Gwen join her Fun Run Here.

Fastest in the House

How fast can you cover a mile? There’s a $1500 daily prize purse up for grabs if you are a current or former pro who’s got the legs. The fastest male and female of the day walks away with $750. Additional cash prize for any sub-4 minute mile for men and 4:20 for women finishers.

Run Shop Relay

Rep your shop and bag some swag. In this 2-person relay race, the fastest team to run 2 miles over the two days wins the event. The winning shop takes home a 40” monitor + Apple TV set-up for their retail store.

Run Brand Relay

Put your legs to the treadmill test and go head to head against other brands. We’ll see who has the fastest employees at TRE! This is a 2-person relay with the simple goal of finishing two miles the fastest–unlimited handoffs and no minimum distance so you can bring it.

Can’t make the event? No sweat.

Hop on your treadmill and join us virtually on Zwift. We’re resurrecting past Zwift Race Series events during TRE. If your locker is missing a festive kit or you simply want to run one of your favorite races again–now’s your chance.
