With an increasing number of quality running events launching on Zwift, I’ve purchased a Zwift Run Pod so I can participate. What better place to test it out than the Under Armour HOVR Series!
What is the Under Armour HOVR Series?
It’s a 5K running challenge where the purpose is to run a 5K in five different Zwift worlds: New York City, Paris, Richmond, London, and Innsbruck.
About the Under Armour HOVR
Under Armour HOVR is the next generation cushioning platform, built to make you better. It is engineered to provide the ideal combination of cushioning and energy return. It is the brand’s latest innovation in footwear cushioning technology.
Are these group runs?
Yes, but they are not being held at a particular pace. Under Armour ambassadors will be leading select events.
