Team Fearless has announced the details of this year’s Annual Women’s Team Championships, held in partnership with Flamme Rouge Racing (FRR).
A Special Race
Now in its eighth year, this race can be called a true Zwift December classic! Over 300 women are already registered, but organizers expect that number to more than double by race day.
Meant to test resilience and endurance with a longer distance than the average Zwift race, the AWTC is one of a kind. Even better: each category gets to crown its own champions, so this race is for all ability levels.
An advanced points system is in place this year, where riders are assigned roles on their teams so everyone can contribute to the overall team win. See “Race Format and Categories” below for details…
Date and Time
The race happens Saturday, December 14 at 7:30 PM UTC/2:30pm ET/11:30am PT).
Race Format and Categories
This race uses FRR’s innovative Team Role Racing, where teams of 5 mixed ability (female only) riders will compete in each of the four racing divisions for points on sprints, climbs, and across the finish line.
Each member of the Team will be allocated a role by their Team Manager, and there are 3 role options:
- GC Rider: 1 rider per team whose finish points are doubled for the team score
- Climber: 2 riders per team who can win climbing points plus finish points
- Sprinter: 2 riders per team who can win sprinting points plus finish points
Riders are classified based on women’s 30-day vELO max value from ZwiftRacing.app.
