If you like to ride and run, our friends at WTRL have just the competition for you! Season 3 of the six-week Zwift Duathlon League bike-and-run race series is about to start. Registration opened on October 22, and the first race is on November 17.
How the Races Work
The concept is simple: Zwifters will ride as far as they can in 35 minutes, then run as far as they can in 15 minutes, with a 10-minute transition from cycling to running.
The bike races are mass-start, with no drafting, so you will need to select your best Time Trial bike and be prepared to go full gas! (See below for help choosing your fastest TT setup.)
A transition time of 10 minutes allows you to change your shoes and power up the treadmill.
The run event is simple: just run as far as you can in 15 minutes.
In total your race lasts 60 minutes. A perfect 1-hour workout!
Individual and Club Leagues
New this season, WTRL is running two different leagues – one for individual racers, and one for “clubs”. If you’d rather compete with a group of friends, clubs makes that possible.
Learn all about the “Clubs” concept on the Season 3 Rules & FAQ page >
How Scoring Works
A simple scoring system will determine your league position:
- For every complete 100 meters cycled you will earn 1 point.
- For every 20 meters that you run, you will earn 1 point.
Scores are then added together to form a league table by age group.
Schedule
Race routes have not yet been published, but the schedule of timeslots is available above.

Picking a TT Rig
The cycling routes for this series are typically quite flat, so you’ll want the most aero TT rig possible. Here are some helpful links:
