If you’ve ever hopped on a treadmill and felt like you were fighting the machine - tapping speed buttons, breaking rhythm, staring at a flat belt - you’ll get why this deal has caught my eye.

Wahoo’s KICKR RUN is the first treadmill I’ve seen that tries to make indoor miles feel like actual running, and for Black Friday it’s had a very real haircut in the US.

The super smart tread is down from $6,999.99 to $5,249.99 - that’s a whopping 25% off, equating to a $1,750 saving. The deal is live through Dec 1, 2025.

The Kickr Run boasts a plethora of smart features that warrants its lofty price tag. For one, it touts a hands-free RunFree Mode that matches belt speed to your pace, realistic +15%/-3% grade control, lateral tilt (up to 1.5°), rich metrics and app integration (Zwift, TrainingPeaks, more). If you’ve been holding out for a next-gen treadmill, this is the one.

Why this deal is worth a look

So here’s the short version of why this tread is worth a gander. Wahoo has built it with RunFree Mode, a feature that uses position sensing to auto-adjust belt speed to your pace. You move up the deck, it speeds up; drift back, it eases off. that means no more jabbing at +/– every time your legs wake up. It also auto controls incline/decline (up to +15% / -3%) and adds a touch of lateral tilt so your stabilisers actually do something - closer to rolling roads and cambered paths than a static gym slab.

On the training side, it’s set up like a proper tool rather than a toy. There are quick Target Pace paddles for exact set-piece efforts, advanced run metrics (think cadence and vertical oscillation) and clean app integration with Zwift, TrainingPeaks, Final Surge, Kinomap and more. If you’ve already built your life around structured workouts and virtual routes, it plays well and if you haven’t, it won’t get in the way.

Who’s it for? Runners who are sick of button-pushing, who want outdoor feel indoors, and who already live in Zwift/TrainingPeaks world, or at least plan to. Who’s it not for? Casual jogs once a month, or anyone without the space for a full-size treadmill.

Regardless, this deal is hard to ignore. If a treadmill’s been on your Black Friday shortlist, this is the first one in a while that feels genuinely new rather than “just another screen”. Plus, the massive price drop just makes the decision that bit easier.
