Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
In a free run you’ll begin just before the bridge that marks this route’s starting point. But watch out in an event, as you’ve got a long lead-in up The Grade (approximately 4km) before the route even begins!
From the bridge you’ll wind your way to the top of the Epic KOM, running through the KOM banner for the first time before turning left onto the Radio Tower KOM. This is a very steep climb (the steepest in the game!) and you’ll reach the top before looping around and descending the same climb.
Then it’s a right turn to head back toward the Epic KOM banner, which acts as your finish line.
That will be fun to do twice, once matching the incline, the other with the dreadmill set to “0” just to run by the riders.
Doing this matching incline is not ‘fun’ Bryan. Don’t be fooled, the 937 feet is under the actual figure. It’s pretty much all uphill and the radio tower is horrific. Do report back to let me know you survived. 🤣
I’ve run “Oh Hill No” matching, just haven’t done the Radio Tower yet. I’m training for Pikes Peak Marathon, so incline is my friend. My guess is I’ll hit this one on Sunday
Fingers crossed you get the update by then.
I use auto incline but will be turning it off before doing this again.
