Zwift’s 2022 zFondo series is three months long (January-March), with a weekend each month dedicated to fondo events. This weekend is February’s fondo weekend, so don’t miss your chance to join thousands of Zwifters working together to put in big efforts.
Along the way you’ll unlock an exclusive jersey and build your fitness in ways only long rides can. Allez allez!
February Fondo Schedule
February’s set of Zwift Fondo events kicks off at 12am Friday, February 3, which is 7pm EST/4pm PST February 2.
Events repeat every 5 hours until February 6th at 10pm GMT/5pm EST/2pm PST. There are a total of 15 events currently scheduled.
Kit Unlocks
This is a 3-month series, and each month’s fondo has its own unique kit unlock. These kits are exclusive, meaning they will never be available anywhere else in game. A true badge of honor! Here’s a shot of all three kits:
Routes
Zwift Fondo events have three categories (A, B, and C) which are open to all riders. These categories don’t refer to rider strength or speed – they determine which route you will ride.
And this year Zwift has created a fresh set of fondo routes! Here they are (click for route details):
Is this a Race?
Officially, no. But hundreds (possibly thousands) of riders will turn out for each of these popular “fun race” events, and the front of each category will certainly be filled with strong riders going all out.
As Zwift says, in the end “This is not a race, but some will choose to ride it like one. Do what’s comfortable, and go at your own pace.”
These events have double draft mode enabled, so be sure to work with others when possible, since this conserves energy.
Upcoming Fondo Dates
March’s Zwift Fondos will happen on March 4-6, 2022.
