After two weekends of the Zwift Insider Worlds Experience races, we’re back to our regular Tiny Race schedule. Four races on a flattish set of routes… and not a burrito in sight. Let’s race!
Last Week’s Results
Looking for the full results of last weekend’s Worlds Experience races? See them on ZwiftPower:
This Week’s Route(s): Throwback Saturday
We going back to where it all began: the original 4 routes chosen for our first-ever Tiny Race weekend on July 30, 2022. It’s a fun set of flatter courses, with each on a different Zwift map and each delivering two powerups.
- Race 1: Neokyo Crit Course (1 lap, 4.7km)
We start off with a flat route, just to get the legs churning and hearts pumping. Will you go early on the Castle Park rise, or save it for the finish?- Powerup: Aero Boost 2x
- Race 2: Bell Lap (3 laps, 5.7km)
Most racers know Crit City well, but have you ever raced just 3 laps? Hopefully somebody will go long on the final twisty climb and really make it interesting.- Powerup: Ghost 2x
- Race 3: LaGuardia Loop Reverse (1 lap, 5.3km)
A quick lead-in followed by one short loop, this is a fast circuit with a bit of a rise just before the lap banner. Will anyone be brave enough to go long, or will it be left to a pack sprint?- Powerup: Anvil 2x
- Race 4: Volcano Circuit (1 lap, 6.9km)
After a lead-in from downtown Watopia we’ll hit one hot lap of the Volcano, finishing at the banner. This finish is always an interesting one, timing-wise. Use your feathers wisely!- Powerup: Feather 2x

ZwiftPower Results
Zwift displays preliminary race results in game when you cross the line, but points are computed after all four races are finished, with final results on ZwiftPower. (We have to do some data processing on our side to compute results, so if your rankings don’t show up right away, be patient.)
Riders will earn points based on finish position in each of the 4 Tiny Races. The category winner of each week’s series is the rider with the most points across their timezone’s 4 races. Here are the links for each timezone’s results on ZwiftPower:
- Zone 1 (9am GMT/4am EST/1am PST)
- Zone 2 (3pm GMT/10am EST/7am PST)
- Zone 3 (9pm GMT/4pm EST/1pm PST/Sunday 8am AEDT)
Rules
Tiny Race rules are simple. Four races, four rules:
- You must have a ZwiftPower account, because final results are processed by ZwiftPower (learn how to sign up)
- No skipping then returning. These races are meant to be raced as a set of 4. If you need to leave early, that’s fine… but once you miss a race in your hour’s set of 4, don’t come back and race another or you’ll be disqualified from that race since you rested while others were racing! (Example: racing only races 1 and 2 is fine. Racing 1, 2, and 4 is not – you will be DQ from race 4. And if you race 2, 3, and 4, you’ll be DQ from all those races, since you skipped race 1!)
- Heart rate monitors are required for podium finishers
- ZPower/Virtual power is not allowed. Smart trainer/smart bike or power meter required.
Join a Chat & Chill Cooldown
Immediately following each hour’s racing, we’ve scheduled 30-minute “Chat & Chill” events where riders from all categories can spin out their legs together and have some fun chatting about how it all went down. Find them at zwift.com/events/tag/tinyraces.
