The Music That Moves You – Running Playlist Challenge 

Win a Free Race Entry + Get Featured!

There’s something powerful about the right song at the right moment. Whether it’s the beat that sets your pace or the lyrics that light a fire inside you, music can turn an ordinary run into an unforgettable one.

We want to know: what song moves you?
What are the tracks that gets you hyped before a race, help you crush your long runs, or pull you through when you hit the wall?

Tell us your favourite songs for a chance to win!
To enter, drop your go-to running song in the comments — and tell us why it hits just right. Is it a throwback that fuels your nostalgia? A beat drop that kicks you into gear? A chorus that reminds you you’re stronger than you think?

What You Could Win

  • One free entry to our upcoming Fall Races
  • feature on our social media
  • A spot on our curated “My Next KW Race” Playlist – built by runners, for runners

Example:
“‘Lose Yourself’ by Eminem. When my legs are tired and I want to quit, that first line reminds me I’ve got one shot – and I better take it!”

So hit play, turn it up, and tell us:
What’s your ultimate race-day song?

We can’t wait to hear the music that moves you!
