I’m sure many of you received various sports gadgets over the last few weeks as part of the holidays. But for those unlucky elves who received only a half-eaten gel packet in their Christmas stocking from their not-so-significant others, I’ve got a festivus of a present for you: This giveaway.
The winner will get a $500 credit to CleverTraining.com, my most excellent partner in this giveaway crime. By supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically anything they sell (or get points instead that are kinda like cash). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero 8 Black to a Garmin Fenix watch to a massive pallet of nutrition gels, to the Favero Assioma power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Actually, it’ll cover exactly the Wahoo KICKR CLIMB, since that’s on sale to $499 right now. Whatever floats your boat (Note: While they don’t technically sell boats, they do sell stand-up paddle boards…which, are kinda like boats).
How to enter:
Simply leave a short description of what product you’d get and why (but don’t worry, you can change your mind later if you win).
The reason you need a short description of ‘why’ is that if you just put a simple product name (i.e. F6), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters. And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. Got all that? Oh, and if you just want that amazing gadget t-shirt above, you can pick that up here. Or, become a DCR Supporter here!
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Sunday, December 29th, 2019 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time [Update – through Dec 31st when I remembered to turn this off]. Winner will be selected randomly. One entry per person. The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock.

My Fenix 3 (sans-hr) is in dire need of an upgrade ?
Oh, a Garmin 945 for me! My heart rate strap stopped working, my footpod stopped working, and my 910xt can’t have long to go.
Being a new dad …a powermeter or trainer would be ideal to get the most out of my very limited training time !
New watch!
Mate this dad of four,
didn’t get a Kickr core ?
A new watch would be great. Garmin 945 would be perfect
Garmin forerunner 945 would be great!
I’d go for new shoes!
I’d really love a Fenix 6 because 2020 is the year I plan to make the jump from hiking trails to actual backcountry exploring. Either that or the more sensible choice of an inReach.
Suunto 9 Bari. I miss my old Suunto (original Ambit). The Apple Watch is handy, but not nearly as nice looking and the battery has died on me on all-day adventures. Thanks, Ray!
Probably a Fenix 6, because while my 230 still works, a shiny new watch would be appreciated
Wow. Great giveaway. I didn’t get a garmin varia radar again this year so no magpies, llamas or sleighs on the side of my ELEMNT!
I would like to get a garmin watch.
I’d get an Edge 830. My old Edge 800 is just hanging on and the tracking, Varia support, and a few other features would make me feel a lot better about going out on the road with a young family to think about.
I’d get a Wahoo Roam and a Varia Radar.
Happy Holidays!
No hyperice viper for me!
Hi Ray. I’d love to upgrade to a Kickr Core or Saris H3. Cheers
I would buy one of Ray’s ugly sweater t-shirts because they look like super comfortable shirts. Maybe I’ll buy 20 of them and give them to other DC supporters.
Will use it for a new Kicker
I would like to upgrade to Forerunner 945, multi sport capability for me please.
Stryd Power meter because I can’t bring myself to ask someone to get it for me.
Stuff. Gadgety stuff. Lots and lots of gadgety stuff.
Forunner 945 to get garmin pay on my watches
I’d get the Favero Assioma power meter because I don’t have a power meter and that’s what I have had my heart set on!
Love to get a Fenix 6
A pedal power meter!
oh to have a Garmin Fenix 6x Pro
Garmin fenix 6, i would like to start running and already ride so this would be a great watch. Plus, i want the sleep tracking and other features.
Upgrade my trainer or run watch or both.
I’d love a Garmin Forerunner 945 as I plan to do my way half distance triathlon in 2020
I just got a new trainer, so I’d go for some extra equipment and renovating my running shoes. My Adidas Solar boost are callings for a replacement!
Always wanted to bring sports activities to a higher level. The DJI Mavic Mini would be an awesome piece of equipment to do just that.
I wanted a new Kickr….. Didn’t get it.
Dear Santa, I’d like the Garmin Edge 830 Bundle please!
Well there is always something else isn’t there! The GoPro 8 with built in mount does look nice…
I would love to get the Garmin Fenix 6, or some mountaineering boots and crampons.
i would looove a good GPS unit like an Egde 830. happy holidays to the DCR fam!
I would like to get a Fenix 6 with the solar battery. I could really use the longer battery life for those 100-milers! Thanks, DCR!
New fancy run watch as mine is mega basic and Im meant to be training for a half marathon…
Garmin 935 to replace my 910.
GoPro Hero 8 for me. Will be able to make many memories of my two kids (and some memories of my own adventures)
FR 945 – my old one is …well.. old :-)
Definitely a new trainer, maybe the KICKR, to try to get some drier miles on the bike over the winter.
Assioma duo powermeter !
Definitely a smart trainer.
I would love to upgrade my trainer and get an tacx neo minus the $500.
I would love to upgrade to a Garmin 530 cycle computer The side buttons on the computer I have are finally disintegrating after 7 years. Thanks
I’d love some Favero power meter pedals, Zwift has taught me how much I miss having a power reading outside now and I’d like to do some club TT’s next year and fear I’d miss those magical numbers!
Smart trainer
I would buy me a F6!
I’d love some Favero power meter pedals, Zwift has taught me how much I miss having a power reading outside now and I’d like to do some club TT’s next year and fear I’d miss those magical numbers!
I’d love the kikr Snap to train on zwift during winter time.
500$ of fat burning cream after all I’ve eaten (and drunk) this Christmas
I got nuth’in for Christmas….. Any upgrade would be great!
I was really, really hoping to receive the Wahoo Elemnt Roam, but alas, all I received were ugly socks and and a sweater 3 sizes too small.
I would put it towards a direct drive trainer
Hello! I would upgrade to a Garmin Forerunner 945.
Gosh, just bought everything. Oh, wait.. Garmin Varia lights – that’s still missing. Or, maybe I should look at that trainer then :D
GoPro Hero 8 – to use with my gravel bike
Power meter to tell me how out of shape I got this winter.
I’d love a Garmin out front cycling head unit as I don’t have one. I cycle daily as a Bicycle Squad Police Officer and our division have declined our request to have a tracking device claiming it’s non essential. I beg to differ!
I would get one of those shiny Garmin Edge Cycling Computers. I’d like to get more around with my bike in 2020.
Would totally love a new power meter…
I wanted a Kickr Climb
Smart trainer or smarter watch
I’d get a kickr climb as this would make indoor training even more fun. Thanks DCR.
An upgrade to the watch my 14yo daughter has wanted for a couple of years to help keep her motivated to keep on running…
She would love the 2/6/945 watches but in particular the 645.
Would love me a new Garmin watch!
I would get a Garmin watch, not sure which on but I have a Fitbit that surely needs upgrading.
I’ll run faster with new gear, right?
I’m still running my 5 year old dumb turbo – I could finally get myself a smart trainer! Maybe a Tacx Neo 2?
I’d love to replace my aging Fenix 3 with a younger model as I train for my first marathon for charity.
A nice trainer or a new powermeter!
I’d like to get my wife an Apple Watch s5. We’ve both undertaken a fitness journey this year and I think it would help track progression.
Edge 530
I’d get a kickr headwind for my best friend. He has been a great friend through some tough times I had and wish I could get him an amazing gift for christmas (or after)
I can’t see the fisher price trainer on CT so it would have to be my second choice of the GoPro max to shoot some crazy footage of my travels!
Have a very happy and healthy 2020 and thank you for all you do!
I’ll get a nice trainer like the wahoo kickr to avoid freezing my butt on the bike during winter
Powertap p2s!
I’d gladly take a set of Favero Assioma pedals. I’ve got the older bePro and would be nice to upgrade.
I’d get an indoor trainer. My work schedule makes getting out on the road a challenge at times. I’d like to incorporate a some indoor training as a way of maintaining and improving my fitness.
Cool Garmin watch for my brothers birthday.
Still hanging on to my fenix 3, would be nice to upgrade it with new fenix!
A smart trainer or give Stryd a go
would love to have a GoPro Hero 7 or 8 to document my training
Time to update my old Fenix 3!
I had to return a Garmin Fenix 5. So I would like to get a new Fenix!…
Yeah Garmin 945
I need to get running again. I think a Garmin 945 might give me the required kick start.
I’d love to receive a GoPro Hero 8 – I borrowed a 7 from a friend of mine for a recent race, and would love to have more time filming runs with one.
I need a GoPro 8!!
Still like my Epix – but in this case a choice would have to be made between Fenix 5+ or 6 or FR 945…
I’d love a new watch and some recovery tools, I want to step up my running in 2020 and staying healthy is going to be the key part to that!
Hey DC Rainmaker,
I’d like to get a powermeter for my daughter to use to improve her training, the Favero Assioma pedals would be ideal I think. This would be to improve her bike training toward completing a 70.3. Ostensibly her goal is to beat me – I will help her do her best but also I will train to not let it happen ;)
Thanks, Mike
Garmin Venu! My vivoactive 3 has served me well, but its time for an upgrade ?
Garmin Fenix 6 would be really nice to have. I don’t care about the solar charging but as for rest of the features – definitely my kind of watch!
Thanks!
My Garmin 935 is getting a little long in the tooth, so a new running or multisport watch.
Thanks, Ray!
I’d love to buy some lighting so that I can get some late night rides in!
Would love to dive in on a smart direct drive trainer. For “reasons” my post season kinda fell off a cliff. Trainer seems an engaging way to claw it back.
Could use a power meter!
