There are two big shows in town this weekend: the UCI Esports World Championships on Saturday and the “Rapha Rising” race series which spans the weekend (starting Friday). Plus we’ve picked a few other fun events, including your first opportunity to unlock the new Zwift Insider kit!
Watch Party Ride – UCI World Championships
I appreciate that this isn’t an event we can participate in, but it is one worth watching. Zwift has created “Watch Party” events for the men’s and women’s races. Pull up the race on YouTube, hop on Zwift, and ride/chat while watching the race!
Women’s Race Watch Party Saturday, February 26 @ 6:15PM GMT/1:15pm EST/10:15am PST

Race The World // UCI Cycling Esports World Championships Course
If you fancy a go at the course, so you can compare your times to those in the Championship event, Zwift is giving you the chance to race it. “Join us for a community race on the same course the elite riders are racing on during the UCI Cycling Esports World Championship. Experience the rolling, curvy, and scenic Central Park loop then head to the futuristic KOM with gradients up to 17%.”
