Many of you will have noticed Zwift’s 10-year anniversary celebrations. But there is another milestone happening this month, and that is 7 years of official group runs and therefore 7 years of Run in the Park on Zwift!
On November 18th, 2017, a group of runners including Zwift co-founder Jon Mayfield himself logged in to Zwift (it was after midnight for Jon) with the hope that everything would work and that they would be placed in the start pens for the first-ever Zwift group run.
Everything did go to plan and the 5km was completed with an epic sprint finish to the line!
This Monday, November 18th, a group of runners is recreating the same event on that same course on Volcano Flat Reverse in Watopia. And everyone is invited!
It is hoped that people will run together at 9-10km/h (5.6-6.2mph) for 4km before you are released to battle it out over the last km on the leader’s signal.
Monday, November 18 @ 7:30pm UTC/2:30pm ET/11:30am PT

A bit of Zwift history: the official public launch of Zwift Run happened in New York City a few months after the event referenced above. Read all about the NYC launch here >
