The next community races of Zwift’s World Series begin today, and riders are tackling the new Shisa Shakedown 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 the coming weeks!
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 #3)
- 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)
Route Details: Shisa Shakedown
This new route is basically a flat route with six VO2-length climbs thrown in. It’s an attritional race course, and most riders will want to recover on the flats and descents so they can push hard on the climbs, all while saving a little for the finishing climb up to Shisa Sprint!
