It’s going to be an EPIC weekend on Zwift thanks to thousands of riders taking on Zwift Games Stage 3 – the longest stage of the Games! So we’ve chosen Zwift Games plus four more events as our top picks this weekend.
🥇 Zwift Games, Stage 3 – Epic
✅ Popular Event ✅ Kit Unlock ✅ Highly Competitive
The longest stage of Zwift Games kicks off this weekend! A/B categories will be racing the new Zwift Games 2024 Epic route, while C/D will be on Three Little Sisters. (Word on the street is some C and D riders will be joining the upper categories so they can ride the new route and unlock the badge as early as possible!)
Two more Zwift Games callouts:
- The women-only Epic events are also looking quite popular, so ladies, be sure to check those out!
- Watch the Elite racers take on the Epic Championship this weekend at 6pm UTC/1pm EST/10am PST. Last week’s live streams were really well done! Men race on Saturday, women on Sunday.

🤝 Levi’s Gran Fondo ride – 25 Volcano Laps
✅ Endurance Ride ✅ Kit Unlock
Want to unlock the “On Fire” badge by completing 25 laps of the Volcano Circuit? Or maybe you just want a steady ride with double draft and fast bikes? Or perhaps you’re looking to unlock a kit that’s nearly impossible to get on Zwift… the Specialized Mixtape!
Whatever your reason, join leaders from Red Peloton for some endurance riding around the volcano on Saturday.
Saturday, March 9 @ 5pm UTC/12pm EST/9am PST

🥇 Tiny Races – Danny’s Crit Week
✅ Unique Event ✅ Popular Event ✅ Kit Unlock
Danny Enzo, our favorite Zwifter on TikTok, suggested this weekend’s Tiny Race routes: 4 rolling crit-style courses. If you’re a puncheur or pure sprinter, this weekend’s for you!
Remember: Tiny Races are actually a set of four races, each lasting 15 minutes or less, so you can knock out all four for a splendid 1-hour session.
3 Time Slots Each Saturday

🥇 Rhino Racing Short Crits
✅ Practice Race
Speaking of short races, here’s another. I picked this one because it could serve as a practice run for Zwift Games stage 4 (March 11-15), which is held on 5 laps of Scotland’s Glasgow Crit Circuit, just like this race!

🤝 BMTR Flat 100 (Miles)
✅ Popular Event ✅ Legacy Leaders
One of our most commonly-featured events, for good reason. The BMTR Flat 100 consistently gets big turnouts because it offers four different pace groups on flatter, distance-friendly routes. Be sure to read the event description for details!
Saturday, March 9 @ 1:10pm UTC/8:10am EST/5:10am PST

How We Make Our Picks
We choose each weekend’s Notable Events based on a variety of factors including:
- Is the event unique/innovative in some way?
- Are celebrities (pro riders, etc) attending/leading?
- Are signup counts already high, meaning the event is extra-popular?
- Does the ride include desirable unlocks or prizes?
- Does the event appeal to ladies on Zwift? (We like to support this under-represented group!)
- Is it for a good cause?
- Is it just plain crazy (extra long races, world record attempts, etc)?
- Is it a long-running, popular weekly event with a dedicated leader who deserves a shout out?
In the end, we want to call attention to events that are extra-special and therefore extra-appealing to Zwifters. If you think your event qualifies, comment below with a link/details and we may just include it in an upcoming post!
