I am so excited to announce The Fitness Fellowship’s first official tournament. The Fellowship Championship. We’ve got five brutal stages ahead, but don’t worry! Many of us are heading into the season carrying a few extra kgs, and this is the perfect opportunity to dust off the old cobwebs.
We’ve got a bit of everything from a pan flat sprinters map to a mass start epic to an iTT. And of course we love climbing, so we put a bit of elevation in here and there.
Winners of each rank will be decided using e_gap to win the Zwift Cup of Doom!

General Classification (e_Gap vs GC) & Scoring
- Cumulative Time: The overall GC is decided by your cumulative aggregate chip time across all five stages.
- The “e_gap” System: Stages are scored on the time gap behind the stage winner. Every single second you gain, lose, or sprint for at the line counts directly toward your standing on the GC leaderboard.
- Single Stages Welcome: If you can’t commit to all five stages, you are still more than welcome to drop in and race any individual stage for glory.
Rules & More Info
- Bike Choice: Neutralized road bikes and bike upgrades. TT bikes are only on Stage 4.
- Multiple Timeslots: If you ride the same stage more than once to chase a better split, your fastest time will automatically count toward your GC/e_gap standing.
- Fair Play: Heart rate monitors are mandatory to be eligible for GC category podiums. Riders on zPower or missing cadence/HR data will be excluded from final GC standings.
- Live Leaderboard: Our custom community leaderboard updates twice daily (approx. 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM Pacific Time) so you can track your position between stages.
