Zwift World Series Race 2 Details: Peak Performance

The next community races of Zwift’s inaugural World Series happen this week/weekend, and riders will tackle Watopia’s tough Peak Performance route. All are welcome, from beginners to the elite racers who will be joining in to recon the course for the elite events happening in October!

Here are the big reasons why the Zwift World Series community races are interesting:

• They function as a monument race one weekend per month from September to January, offering a chance to challenge and test yourself against the Zwift racing community
• Plenty of opportunities to participate, with races scheduled from Thursday to Sunday across multiple time slots
• Global Leaderboards for each month’s races (here is the leaderboard for race #2), plus a General Classification that combines all the monthly races to see how you rank against your peers throughout the series
• Zwift World Series Community kit unlock when you complete any of the five races
• Elite riders can use these races as recon events prior to the big elite races, and community riders get to race the same course as the elites to see how they compare
• Three brand-new courses and two never before featured in Zwift racing (see all routes here)

Race #2 Route Details: Peak Performance

Released with Watopia’s “The Grade” expansion, this route is a loop that begins and ends in downtown Watopia. You’ll first ride through Titans Grove, but that KOM is just a quick taste of the big climb that lies ahead. After some flat miles, riders will climb The Grade, then continue ascending the Epic KOM before descending back to Watopia proper for the finish. See more route details >
