Are you a strong climber? Level Racing recently announced the Level Hill Climb Series – a series of five races focused entirely on particular climb segments. Read on for details!
How It Works
This is a series of five points races where points are scored for FTS (fastest through segment) on a hill climb KOM segment near the start pen of each race. Maximum points for a segment is 100, down to 1. Only the KOM segment scores in each race. Nothing else matters!
Drafting is disabled, so this is a pure test of a rider’s climbing ability. But you can pick your best climbing bike/wheels setup.

Your best three races of the five will count toward your overall series finish.
Event results and league positions will be published on ZwiftPower. Results are combined for all events, regardless of which time slot you race.
Riders are categorized based on zFTP, but everyone leaves the pens at the same time.
