There’s nothing quite like race day—the adrenaline rush before the start, the roar of the crowd, the feeling of accomplishment as you cross the finish line. At iFit, we’re bringing all of this race day excitement right to you with the live Hippity-Hop 5K race!

How it works

On April 3, 2021 at 11:30 a.m., EDT, meet iFit Trainer Heather Jenson on your iFit-enabled treadmill or elliptical. You can also join via the iFit app on your smartphone or tablet. You’ll virtually link up with Heather in Peoria, Arizona for 3.1 unforgettable miles in about 37 minutes. Run or walk a 5K race in real time along with other competitors and the iFit community! 

  • The race starts at 11:30 a.m., EDT on April 3, 2021.
  • Join up to 10 minutes early and scan the QR code on the screen to ask Heather questions.
  • Submit your questions and comments before the race begins, and she might answer them live… during the race!

Cross the finish line together and let that feeling of pride surge! If you join the race live, you’ll receive an exclusive finisher’s medal in the mail. We’ll send you an email when you’ve completed the race with instructions on how to claim your reward.

Can’t join us live? Don’t worry! The Hippity-Hop 5K Race will be available in the iFit Library. While you won’t earn a race medal, you can still relive the excitement of race day whenever you’d like!
