    For those in the United States, enjoy your Labor Day! This weekend we’re highlighting the return of a popular women’s racing series. Additional picks include a virtual Vuelta alternative, a monthly century ride, and two pre-ZRL prep rides.


    🥇Iceni Women’s Series

    ✅ Popular Event  ✅ Highly Competitive  ✅ Women-only

    The Iceni Women’s Series is back! There will be two opportunities on Saturdays to do each of the five stages in this series. This is a points race, so FTS and FAL points will be available on segments. To keep the race fair and competitive, there are also a few rules in place (see below for details)

    For the first stage of the series, riders will be racing the Neokyo All-Nighter course, a course that mixes KOMs, sprints, and rollers all into one.

    Rules: category enforced, HRM required, power meter required, women-only

    Multiple Time Slots This Saturday

    🥇 Chasing Tour | Chasing Red – Stage 5 & 6

    ✅ Popular Event  ✅ Highly Competitive  ✅ Innovative Format

    As the Vuelta takes place in real life, the Chasing Red series, a virtual replica of the Vuelta, occurs simultaneously on Zwift. For each of the Chasing Tours, three lucky riders will win a Zwift Hub, Hammerhead Karoo 2, and a $200 voucher for The Feed.

    Stages 5 and 6 will take place this weekend, with riders racing stage 5 on the Royal Pump Room 8 course and stage 6 on the Keith Hill After Party course.

    🤝 Zwift Racing League Group Recon Rides

    ✅ Fresh Event  ✅ ZRL Recon

    In just over a week, the first race of the 2023-24 Zwift Racing League will take place. Join different teams this weekend for a recon of the course. Leaders of the group rides include Cryo-Gen, BL13, and more! This is a great opportunity to ask these veteran Zwifters all your Zwift Racing League-related questions. Learn more about the ZRL Recon Series >

    This group ride takes place over two laps of the Rolling Highlands course. On the 12th of September, riders will be racing 3 laps of this very course. Keep an eye out for a complete Zwift Insider guide to the first race next week!

    🤝 USMES Monthly Century Ride

    ✅ Popular Event 

    Join USMES for their monthly century ride. One of the nice things about this event is that there are two different leaders in this event. This allows riders with the front beacon to drop back to the slower pacer. USMES has also recently received a new in-game cycling kit (see it here)! Riders will be able to use this new kit during this ride. However, this ride does not unlock the kit.

    This month, riders will ride on the PRL Full course in London. This is a great opportunity to unlock the PRL Full route badge with company.

    Saturday, September 2nd @ 1pm UTC/9am EDT/6am PDT

    🥇 Eintracht’s ZRL Preparation Race

    ✅ Fresh Event

    Zwift Racing League (ZRL) begins soon! WTRL recommends that riders complete 2 competitive races in the two weeks leading up to the start to ensure you’re in the right category. Eintracht is hosting three races leading up to ZRL from the 1st to the 5th of September. Be sure to get some races in before ZRL!

    Saturday’s race will be taking place on The Muckle Yin in Scotland.

    Sunday, September 3rd @ 3:15pm UTC/11:15am EDT/8:15am 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!
