    Rolling Tide Race Series Announced: A Season-Long Race That Grows With You

    Rolling Collective (RollCo) has launched Rolling Tide, a new year-long Zwift race series built around a simple but demanding idea: start small, build big.

    Rolling Tide begins with a short, sharp opener and increases in distance by 1 kilometer every week, culminating in a full-distance endurance race at the end of the year. More than just another race on the calendar, Rolling Tide is about commitment, momentum, and shared growth, a collective journey where improvement is earned through consistency.

    What Makes Rolling Tide Special

    A Race that Evolves

    Most events test riders on a single night. Rolling Tide tests them over time. Early weeks reward explosiveness and sharp efforts, while later races demand patience, pacing, and resilience. The format naturally evolves, mirroring the way real fitness is built.

    A Reason to Come Back

    Rolling Tide is supported by an ongoing ZwiftPower leaderboard, encouraging riders to measure progress, track rivals, and build season-long narratives. It’s not just about today’s result, it’s about where you finish after riding the entire tide.

    Fair, Competitive, and Inclusive

    Each race is run as a categorised scratch event, ensuring competitive racing at every level while keeping the shared experience intact. Whether riders are chasing podiums, rivalries, or personal milestones, everyone starts the journey together.

    A Shared Story

    Rolling Tide is designed to create familiarity. The same names. The same time slot. The same rising challenge. Riders will remember where they started and who they rode alongside when they reach the final weeks of the season.

    Race Schedule and Details

    Events occur weekly in 5 timeslots:

    • Wednesdays at
      • 6:50pm UTC/1:50pm ET/10:50am PT
      • 11:50pm UTC/6:50pm ET/3:50pm PT
    • Saturdays at
      • 11:05am UTC/6:05am ET/3:05am PT
      • 5:05pm UTC/12:05pm ET/9:05am PT
      • 11:05pm UTC/6:05pm ET/3:05pm PT

    The first race kicks off Wednesday in France: a 1km sprint on Macaron. There’s no lead-in, just a hard, straight start through to a harder finish. Can you be quick off the line without the benefit of building up momentum first? Is your pre-race warmup to scratch?
