Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of June 1-2

This weekend has an eclectic mix of notable events, including Tiny Races categorized by VO2 Max, Pride rides, and a fondo with a party bus!

✅ Unique Race  ✅ Popular Event 

For the first time ever, this week’s this week’s Tiny Races are categorizing riders based on your detected VO2 Max! We’ve also moved from 4 to 5 categories, so field sizes should be smaller and closely competitive.

Give them a try, and let us know what you think by commenting on the Tiny Race homepage!

Three timeslots available every Saturday

✅ Endurance Challenge  ✅ Party Bus

Zwift Labs events are well underway, with the featured event lasting just a few days before moving on to something new and experimental. Some have been hits (Beat the Bots), while some have been misses (Group FTP Test). This weekend it’s the Big Foot Hills Fondo – 1 lap of the route for 69.7km of total distance.

This isn’t technically a race, but most riders will treat it as one. All categories will start together, except the E category which is labeled “The Party Bus”. Join them for a good time!

Even if you haven’t raced this series yet, it’s a wonderful opportunity to jump in and race a sizeable field of women. Why not give it a go?

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 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!
