This weekend is rather quiet on Zwift in terms of extraordinary events – but there are plenty of great recurring events nonetheless! So as usual, we’ve selected 5 notable events to help you find the perfect ride this weekend.
This weekend’s picks include a group workout, endurance race, sprint race, and two classic social rides.
📊 Le Col Cycling Club Community Sunday Session
✅ Popular Event ✅ Tough Workout
Looking to get in a quality workout session this weekend? Join Le Col for a workout session designed by ex-professional cyclist Chris Opie. This weekend’s workout will be 90 minutes long.
Riders will be on the Watopia Mountain 8 course. Due to the “workout keep-together mode,” riders likely will not finish the full route… but you can keep going afterward if you want to earn that route badge!

🥇 DBR Saturday Race
✅ Popular Event ✅ High Competitive ✅ Tough Workout
For those who fancy a longer Zwift race to start off the weekend, DBR is hosting a long endurance race. This is a great race, especially if you are looking for some good competition, but due to its length (nearly 100km), this race isn’t for everyone! Official results will be available on ZwiftPower.
The ride on Saturday will have a 1-5 w/kg pace range, 4 different distances, and will take place on the Beach Island Loop course. Sunday will be the same, except on the Volcano Flat course.
Special Settings: Category Enforced, HRM Required, Power Meter Required

🥇 Wobble Sprint Series
✅ Popular Event ✅ Highly Competitive ✅ Women-Only Option
The Wobble Cycling Club has just announced their latest edition of the Wobble Sprint Series. The series consists of 10 stages – each on a different course. This series is based on segment and finishing points and features an open and women’s race each weekend.
These are typically shorter courses, with this week’s race being on 7 laps of the Glasgow Crit Course. Another perk to this series is that there are 3 different time slots each Saturday.

🤝 PACK SUB2 Saturday + KOM After Party
✅ Popular Event ✅ Legacy Leaders ✅ Beginner Friendly
Races and workouts are not for everyone. Every weekend, PACK hosts one of the largest group rides on Zwift. PACK is well-known for rolling around the virtual roads with large blobs and a friendly group. The ride is led by some of the most OG riders on the platform – many have been around since the Jarvis days! For those who decide to hop in this ride, know that you will be in great hands!
This group ride will last roughly an hour and take place on the Rolling Highlands course in Scotland.

🤝 BanditZ Tronathon (Banded)
✅ Popular Event ✅ Legacy Leaders ✅ Beginner Friendly
We’ve featured this event quite a few times, but it continues to be one of the top events every weekend. The BanditZ Tronathon is a banded group ride up the Alpe to help riders accumulate elevation – whether it is for the Everest Challenge, or simply to gain confidence on climbs, BanditZ is here to help.
The event cleverly ends at the top of the Alpe. Because it ends at the top, riders can descend without worrying about the banding slowing them down. The ride takes place on the Tour of Fire and Ice course in Watopia.

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!
