No need to buy a brand-new treadmill to start Zwifting. There’s a whole new way to run on Zwift, thanks to the Runn Smart Treadmill Sensor from North Pole Engineering.
The Runn sensor easily installs onto the side rail of most treadmills. Using an optical speed sensor to track belt rotation speed, Runn broadcasts data directly back to Zwift via BLE and ANT+.
What does this mean? You get the most accurate speed, distance, incline, and cadence data while running on Zwift. Helping you level up every time you train.

Easy to mount and set up
Easy to set-up and to operate. As other reviewers have highlighted, the belt stickers do quickly fall off, but evo-stick has secured them effectively.
This unit was surprizingly easy to setup. Using both Zwift and the treadmill's own speedometer it was also surprizingly acurate. You have to remember to charge the unit up before use. I do think that the sensors on the unit should be a little closer to the edge of the unit which will let you move it back a bit more so you do not catch it whilst running. This is soloved by where you place the unit.
A good unit for runners and walkers with non smart treadmills.
Great gadget. I have been running on Zwift with the Runn for four months, and it works well. Stickers are not great, but reflective tape works and is cheap enough to replace if necessary. Speed is accurate enough, but variations are +/—0.25 km/h. I keep my Runn plugged in. The gradient and cadence sensors work as expected.
The stickers for the belt came off within minutes, but after painting a few small white lines (to replicate the stickers) the sensor was easy to set up, and very consistent.
Would have got 5 star if it weren't for the not-so-sticky stickers
