Team3R are hosting a 4 week event to keep you racing sharp before the next season of the Zwift Racing League.
The 3R Omnium Team Championship is a 4-week team event with 4 different formats running at 19:00 GMT each Tuesday starting on 9th March 2021. This will culminate in a series of league decider Elimination Races as the 5th exciting event on the weekend of 3/4 April.
Team3R tells us, “We wanted to bring the excitement of track racing to Zwift so picked the multi-format omnium event to run a team championship. Bringing 2 brand new race formats to Zwift we want to push the limits of the platform whilst hosting great, competitive racing. The series will culminate in the first competitive elimination races held on Zwift so come and join the fun and give yourself the chances to be the last rider standing!”
It certainly will be an explosive series.
More Details
This is a team event and each race (other than the series decider elimination races) can feature 6 riders from a starting roster of 8 riders.

Tue 30 March 2021 – 19:00 GMT – Team Sprint
Volcano Circuit – 1 lap – 9.02km
One Team, One Lap, One Goal – slingshot one rider to the fastest lap you can around the classic Volcano Circuit course. Choose your tactic: stay as a Team? Smash and Peel? Or Something Different…….?
Whatever you choose, your fastest rider time counts for the team.
Sat/Sun 3/4 April 2021 – Elimination Races
Queen’s Highway (A+, A & B)
LaGuardia Loop (C, D & W)
So, your team has made the top 10 and you’re ready to take on the best of your league. Pit one of your riders against the competition on one of these great short crit courses for a chance to win big points for your team.
With a rider eliminated each lap, the competition will get fiercer – can you hold the power and nerve to be crowned the winner and maybe come out champions of the first Omnium series?
This will decide it once and for all.
