12 months after its launch, Zwift’s “ZRacing” is the platform’s most popular ongoing race series. September’s event details have just been shared, and the theme is “Get Rolling,” just like when the series launched in September 2022.
This month features easier (flatter) race courses designed to attract new racers and riders getting back on Zwift after a summer outside. Will every race end in a pack sprint, or will Pack Dynamics 4.1 encourage more breakaways? We’ll find out soon enough…

Racing Score
Zwift recently rolled out their Racing Score metric. At this time, the only scored races on Zwift are these ZRacing events.
Series Structure
The ZRacing series consists of monthly sets of weekly races. Each race is scheduled for seven days (beginning 1:10am UTC on Monday and running through to the next Sunday). Timeslots are consistent week to week and month to month.
Races are scheduled ~15 times each day, so there are plenty of available times to find a race.

Monthly GC on ZwiftPower
Each monthly set of races has a time-based GC (general classification) tracking riders’ best finishing times for each week’s race. The overall winners in each category for the month will be the riders with the lowest overall time for that month’s set of races.
See September’s GC on ZwiftPower >
With over 100 weekly timeslots available, riders can race each week’s event multiple times and try to better their finishing time. Tip: the fastest times usually come from the largest race fields!
Note: you must use a heart rate monitor and be on a smart trainer, smart bike, or power meter to show up in ZwiftPower results for this series.

Get the Badge
Each month’s series has a unique achievement badge, which you can unlock by finishing every stage for the month. There are no makeup events, so if you miss a stage, you miss out!
One and Done
Zwift has planned these events to deliver a solid 1-hour workout, so each race should only take around 1 hour to complete, including your warmup and cooldown.
