Route Achievements
Most routes in Zwift award an achievement badge upon first completion. The game maintains a separate list for “mixed” routes (those which allow both riding and running) and run-only routes.
When you earn a route achievement badge you also receive a one-time XP bonus for completing that route. This bonus is equal to the XP you already earned for the route (20XP per km), so you effectively double your XP earning rate when riding routes for the first time, helping you level up faster.
Completed Missions
Zwift has held “Mission” events over the years which typically require Zwifters to achieve a certain goal within a particular month. Mission badges are grouped by year and listed at the bottom of your achievements list.
Completed Training Plans
Whenever you complete a Zwift Training Plan, its badge is added to your achievements list.
