    Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of May 6-7

    As the days get longer for those in the Northern Hemisphere, things start to calm down on Zwift. However, quite a few notable events are still taking place this weekend, including several fun races! 


    🤝 The BMTR Fundo

    ✅ Legacy Leaders  ✅ Popular Event  ✅ Long Ride

    This weekend, like every weekend, the team at BMTR is hosting a Fundo featuring multiple distances for riders to choose from. To make the event as inclusive as possible, riders are free to go at whatever pace they would like, regardless of category. Whether riders are looking to race, spin, or anything in between, they are welcome at the Fundo.

    The longest ride will be an imperial century while the shortest will be 26 miles (~42 kilometers). The two other distances have lengths in between the longest and shortest distances. All of the different distances take place on the Wandering Flats course in the Makuri Islands.

    Saturday, May 6 @ 12:10pm UTC/8:10am EDT/5:10am PDT

    🥇 Minitour Scotland HISP

    ✅ Popular Event

    As HISP’s latest tour, this race series is a shorter four-week tour with events taking place throughout the day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Riders can participate in as many events as they would like each week—the fastest time will be counted towards the ZwiftPower GC. 

    To start the series off tough, riders will be tackling The Muckle Yin in Scotland + a little bit extra, with the race finishing atop the Sgurr Northbound. Note: this is a mass start race series, but signups are high, meaning riders should be able to find riders around their pace.

    Multiple time slots on Saturday

    🥇 Herd Summer Racing League

    ✅ Tough Race

    Summer is nearly here, marking the start of the HERD Summer Racing League (HSRL). Unlike the winter racing league put on by HERD, the summer racing league features the traditional set of four categories, as opposed to a mass start single-category race. This is a points-based series, so watch out for those segments, it might get spicy!

    This weekend’s race takes place on the Innsbruck Continentals Hill Climb course. Ouch!

    Multiple time slots Saturday and Sunday

    🤝 QueenBee Ladies Sunday Roast Social Ride

    ✅ Women-only  ✅ Beginner-Friendly

    Join the QueenBee Ladies Sunday Roast Social Ride for a chance to ride with other ladies on Zwift. Throughout the duration of the ride, leaders will be holding a pace range of 1.3-1.8 w/kg. In addition to this, there is an optional after-party for those who want to go the extra mile!

    This 45-minute social ride takes on the Greater London Flat course, a great course for a social group ride!

    Sunday, May 7 @ 6am UTC

    🥇 Rhino Crash Chase Race

    ✅ Innovative Format

    A crowd favorite amongst those who like to race later in the day on Sundays, the Rhino Crash Chase Race is very well-maintained, meaning the route and time gaps change weekly. From personal experience, I can say that this is definitely the best chase race that I have participated in because of how close all of the groups tend to finish.

    This week’s course is Greatest London Flat with a custom finish line.

    Sunday, May 7 @ 6:30pm UTC/2:05pm EDT/11:30am PDT

    How We Make Our Picks

    We choose each weekend’s Notable Events based on a variety of factors including:

    • Is the event unique/innovative in some way?
    • Are celebrities (pro riders, etc) attending/leading?
    • Are signup counts already high, meaning the event is extra-popular?
    • Does the ride include desirable unlocks or prizes?
    • Does the event appeal to ladies on Zwift? (We like to support this under-represented group!)
    • Is it for a good cause?
    • Is it just plain crazy (extra long races, world record attempts, etc)?
    • Is it a long-running, popular weekly event with a dedicated leader who deserves a shout out?

    In the end, we want to call attention to events that are extra-special and therefore extra-appealing to Zwifters. If you think your event qualifies, comment below with a link/details and we may just include it in an upcoming post!
