EVENT DESCRIPTION
The Zwift Run Series is a monthly event that brings the running community together from around the world. This month we are racing 2 laps around Shuman Trail Loop in New York.
Hope you’re ready to run like someone’s chasing you, because, well, they are! This month's addition of ZRS features a chase race format aimed to allow runners of all abilities a chance to compete for the podium.
Runners are grouped according to ability and start times are staggered with the D Group leaving first. The goal is for each group to work together to stay away from chasers and catch anyone up the road. Typically two or more groups come together just before the finish for an all-out podium sprint, and it is this unique blend of team and individual efforts which keeps racers coming back for more.
There are four categories per event with staggered start times. Please choose your category wisely and according to your 5k race pace.
