This is another relatively quiet weekend on Zwift, so we’ve selected a nice set of weekend classics. Our picks include a mix of longer endurance rides and races, and a mellow social ride.
Next week appears to have quite a few exciting events, stay tuned!

🥇 KISS Racing 100
✅ Popular Event ✅ Highly Competitive ✅ Endurance Ride
The KISS 100 race has been going on for quite some time now. This is likely one of the hardest races on Zwift, and it typically attracts some of Zwift’s top racers. As we get closer to Zwift season, expect sign-up numbers to increase quite a bit.
The KISS 100, as the name suggests, is a 100-kilometer race. This week’s race will take place on the Country to Coastal course in the Makuri Islands.

🤝 Zwift NL – The Longer Ride
✅ Popular Event ✅ Beginner Friendly
For many, the JETT ride may be a bit too much too fast. Rest assured, Zwift NL will be hosting their weekly long ride. This ride is longer than the standard 60-minute group rides, but not quite as long as the 100-kilometer endurance rides.
Throughout this ride the leader will be holding a steady pace of ~1.7-2.2 w/kg depending on the terrain. Riders will be on the Douce France course.

How We Make Our Picks
We choose each weekend’s Notable Events based on a variety of factors including:
- Is the event unique/innovative in some way?
- Are celebrities (pro riders, etc) attending/leading?
- Are signup counts already high, meaning the event is extra-popular?
- Does the ride include desirable unlocks or prizes?
- Does the event appeal to ladies on Zwift? (We like to support this under-represented group!)
- Is it for a good cause?
- Is it just plain crazy (extra long races, world record attempts, etc)?
- Is it a long-running, popular weekly event with a dedicated leader who deserves a shout out?
In the end, we want to call attention to events that are extra-special and therefore extra-appealing to Zwifters. If you think your event qualifies, comment below with a link/details and we may just include it in an upcoming post!
