Wahoo KICKR RUN Launches in the Nordics – What Runners Are Saying & Why It Stands Out

We’re excited to announce that the Wahoo KICKR RUN—a treadmill built for serious indoor running—is now launching across Sweden, Norway, Denmark. This isn’t just another treadmill; it’s a new way to train indoors, and early reviews are already saying it delivers on that promise.

What makes the KICKR RUN Treadmill different

From the moment you step on it, the KICKR RUN is designed to feel more like running outdoors than on a typical home machine. Among the standout features: RunFree™ mode, which automatically adjusts speed based on your position on the belt; a generous top speed that accommodates fast intervals; wide incline/decline and even lateral-tilt capability; and open connectivity so you choose your app or display.

What runners and reviewers are saying about Wahoo's treadmill

Early Reviews: “Unlike Any Treadmill We’ve Seen Before”

Since its first public demonstrations, the feedback from both professional testers and early users has been overwhelmingly positive.

“The most realistic treadmill experience available — it reacts instantly to how you move,” says one early reviewer.

“RunFree is a game-changer. I stopped thinking about speed control after 30 seconds — it just understood what I wanted to do,” wrote another.

“Quiet, stable, and smart — it feels like Wahoo’s KICKR for runners.”

Across forums, triathlon communities, and endurance blogs, one theme stands out: KICKR RUN bridges the gap between traditional treadmill running and the freedom of the road.

Why this matters for a runner like yourself

If you train indoors regularly—whether for performance, convenience or because of weather—the KICKR RUN gives you a tool that adapts to your pace instead of forcing you to adapt to it. You’ll spend less time managing the machine, and more time running.
And because it’s launching in the Nordics now, via our local distribution, you get access earlier than many markets.

Built for Serious Training

With a top pace equivalent to 4:00 min/mile (≈ 2:28 min/km) and an extra-wide 22" × 69" running surface, KICKR RUN is built to handle everything from base mileage to sprint intervals. It accelerates and decelerates quickly, making structured workouts — including VO₂max and tempo sessions — feel fluid and realistic.

The open-platform design means full connectivity through Bluetooth and ANT+. That makes it compatible with Wahoo’s own app, ELEMNT cycling computers, and platforms like Zwift Run. Just connect, load your workout, and let the treadmill automatically adjust speed and incline based on your training plan.

And because Wahoo believes simplicity drives consistency, the design is intentionally minimalist — no oversized screen or cluttered controls. You choose the device, the app, and the experience.

Why Runners Are Calling It a Game-Changer

Traditional treadmills force runners to manage speed manually, react to lagging motors, or settle for fixed programs. KICKR RUN eliminates those barriers by letting your body lead the session. The RunFree mode delivers a sense of control and connection that reviewers describe as “immediate and intuitive.”

For Nordic athletes who spend much of the year training indoors, the benefits are clear. The KICKR RUN brings:

• Real-world feel with adaptive speed and terrain response

• Hands-free control for uninterrupted flow

• Quiet, stable performance ideal for home gyms and apartments

• Full integration with the Wahoo ecosystem of sensors, heart-rate monitors, and training apps

• Open compatibility with third-party platforms for data-driven training

In short, it’s built for runners who expect the same level of precision indoors as they do outside.

Seamless Integration with the Wahoo Ecosystem

KICKR RUN doesn’t just exist on its own. It connects seamlessly with the entire Wahoo ecosystem, turning your training into one unified experience across cycling, running, and strength.

Connect to ELEMNT Devices
Pair your KICKR RUN with your ELEMNT cycling computer or the Wahoo app to track every session, compare performance data, and analyse metrics in one place. Whether you’re switching between a long indoor ride on KICKR BIKE or a tempo run on KICKR RUN, your stats stay connected and consistent.

Train Smarter with Wahoo SYSTM & RGT
Wahoo’s training platforms — SYSTM and RGT — give you access to guided sessions, structured intervals, and virtual routes. With future updates planned for deeper running integration, KICKR RUN will expand the Wahoo ecosystem beyond cycling, bringing the same data-driven precision to runners.

Open Compatibility
As with all Wahoo products, KICKR RUN plays well with others. It integrates easily with Zwift Run, Strava, and other third-party apps through Bluetooth and ANT+, letting you sync sessions automatically and choose the training experience that fits you best.
