Zwift’s “ZRacing” is the platform’s most popular ongoing race series, and beginning in September, Zwift is placing it under the “Zwift Racing” umbrella. Moving forward, expect each monthly series to include ZRacing, Crit Club, Epic Race Club, and TT Club events.
This means each week’s offers races in four formats. Completing any of the four earns you an XP bonus and credit for the stage. Read on for details!

DURA-ACE Features and Prize Draw
Each race of this series puts riders on one of the fast new Shimano DURA-ACE wheelsets. The C99/Disc is used for all the time trials, while the C50 and C60 are used for most of the other races, with the lighter C36 featuring only in week 4’s ZRacing event.

GC Leaderboard
Zwift’s web-based leaderboards track the monthly GC competition for ZRacing events. Access those leaderboards at zwift.com/racing/leagues/zracingsep2026.
Monthly GC leagues are also available for the Crit, Epic, and TT races. These can be found at ZwiftPower>Leagues.
Your GC ranking is based on your best finishing time for each stage, and you can race stages more than once to try for a better time.
Your Racing Profile
In May, Zwift launched the new “Racing Profile Page” at zwift.com, bringing all your Zwift race results together in one place so it’s easier to track performance and results etc. This page continues to be built out, including the addition of a power dashboard (see below). Sources tell me a ZRS history chart is arriving very soon!
