This weekend we’ve got lots of Zwift Academy events, plus some fun long rides and short races. Please note that this time of year, event times can get a bit wacky as different parts of the world change their clocks on different dates. Best to double-check event times via the Companion app!
Special thanks to Jesper at ZwiftHacks with his Events app which provides powerful event filtering tools that help us create this list each week.
Zwift Academy – All of them!
For the first time ever, we’ve got a weekend which hosts events for all four Zwift Academies: Zwift Academy Road Women, Men, Zwift Academy Run, and Zwift Academy Tri. Jump into a workout or group event and get one step closer to graduation!

Herd Beginner Racing Series
Looking to get started racing on Zwift, but aren’t sure where to start? The Herd team’s beginner race series was designed for you!
Racers will take on a series of relatively short routes (usually 20km or under) and there are no categories – everyone starts at the same time.

Futureworks Races
Zwift has begun labelling their FutureWorks races with the feature used in the race – so we can now easily choose between a FutureWorks race which uses Zwift’s Boost Mode or Anti-Sandbagging features.
Are you a C or D rider tired of having your races blown apart by sandbaggers? Try an anti-sandbagging event, and smile smugly as the cheaters get slowed with the green cone of shame. Looking for something a little different in your Crit City race? Try a Boost Mode event – it adds a strategic element that can make things really interesting!
