This week’s picks are a real blend of event types and lengths! We’ve got a fundraiser of epic proportions, two very different races, an “easy” banded group ride, and a long unbanded group ride. Take your pick, and Ride On!
🤝 Evenement Gran Fondo Enfant Soleil
✅ Good Cause ✅ Epic Distance
This annual Canadian fundraiser fondo always gets featured here, for three reasons: it gets a big turnout (the most signups of any event this weekend, so far), some of the ride length options are a bit crazy, and it’s for a good cause! Five different lengths to choose from, all starting at separate times: 300km, 225km, 150km, 75km, 35km. Everyone will be on Watopia’s Waistband route.
Some may just ride this for a challenging effort, but it’s also a fundraiser. See event description for details.

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!
